Cruise ship diving with The Dive Bus - I visited Willemstad as a cruise passenger. My cruise diving excursion was cancelled at the last minute, so I reached out to The Dive Bus, who was happy to accommodate me for an afternoon shore dive.
The whole team, including my guide Gwen, was professional but laid-back, and clearly passionate about diving and the reef. Everything was well-organized—from the gear setup to the dive briefings—and the vibe was friendly and relaxed throughout.
Communication was great, with clear instructions on how to get to the shop (approx. 15 minutes ride away from port), and it was a great place to hang out afterwards. Whether you're visiting for a few days, or just a few hours, I’d highly recommend diving with The Dive Bus. Great people, great diving, and a great way to enjoy Curaçao underwater.

Competent, chill guides and helpful staff. - This is the way to dive in Curacao. After 2 days of cattle boat dives it was a terrific contrast to do guided shore dives with Gwen and Rudy with just our little family.
The equipment is clean and in good repair, and the crews are careful and friendly. We could sleep in, get our stuff and be chauferred to our dive site. Dove 5 sites in 3 days with guides Gwen and Rudy, and saw way more sealife and had more relaxed time than we did on the boats. (Most all the best sites the boats go to are easily shore accessible, so more chill to walk in I think.)
Don't be put off by the dive bus yard when you first arrive. It can look a little junkyardish, complete with the odd stray dog, but everything is in great order and the shop has what you might need. (No fancy branded clothes or anything, they focus on a few good quality things.)
Just rent all your equipment there for the week and go.with guides or on your own. It's what we should have done from the start. Thanks Dive Bus- We had a great time!

Go with The Dive Bus - I finished out my dive trip with the dive bus. When I arrived they had already the rental gear I requested outside and we were in the water in no time. Steve was my guide and he was awesome. Super attentive and always pointing out key animals on the reef. The house reef was nice and easily did both dives about an hour each. I would highly recommend them and will dive with them again when I come back.

Amazing - We had the best time! We did 4 dives with Rudee and Gwen and had a great experience. They were fun, attentive, pointed out anything they saw underwater and made the dives really enjoyable. They go out in small groups. It was just my husband and I for one of the dives. The gear was also brand new. The owner runs a great dive shop and operation.

House Reef 2 Tank Dive - Highly recommend The Dive Bus. They were very friendly and were great at communicating scheduled our 2 tanks dives. Rudy did a great job with his pre-dive briefing. In the water it was obvious he is a very skilled guide and diver. There is a ton of marine life and the dive is pretty easy even for newbies like us. There is a little bit of a walk across the street that could be difficult if you have trouble carrying your equipment or do not have proper foot wear. I had dive boots that I wear with my fins. They worked fine but I wouldn't go with anything less. My wife had water shoes that worked better and she was able to fold them up and put them in her BCD pockets. I would definitely use there services again and give Rudy a big "hang loose" on a job well done.

Really enjoyed my dives with Gwen and Rudi! - Dive Bus is a super friendly shop - laid-back but professional. I was in Curasao for about 3 weeks and did about 10 dives in total with them. I look forward to my next dives with them.

An Awesome Place to Dive With - We did 8 dives with The Dive Bus and had a fantastic time. Divemasters David and Collin were outstanding. We saw tons of cool things from Moray Eels, Octopus, Lobster, Crabs, and we were fortunate to swim in a baitball on Pierbaii Reef above The Car Pile. Very cool experience. We even saw a red and a yellow Seahorse on the same reef. Great friendly staff and nice choice of dive sites. Highly recommended.

Get on the bus, The Dive Bus - Diving with the crew at Dive Bus was truly a pleasure. During our week in Curacao, we did 5 days of two tank Dives with them at their house reef and 4 other beaches around Curacao. We also completed the Peak Performance buoyancy course. Their Dive Masters and instructors were knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, and provided a safe dive experience. I look forward to going back to Curacao and diving with them again. Everyone at the office was great to work with and our instructors/dive masters Tom, Colin, Bill and Kelly were amazing.
