Fantastic Dive Shop - We had a great time diving with David during our refresher course (and Collin the following days on regular dives). The refresher course was perfect-- not long or arduous, but we felt very comfortable and safe by the time we were actually diving. The guides are great-- welcoming, patient and laidback-- and the rentals are clean and new. Absolutely recommend.

Best diving experience in Curaçao - My son and I decided to do some diving since our family was in Curaçao for a vacation. I had read great reviews on Reddit about the Dive Bus and so we decided to do the refresher dive with them as it had been a few years since we last went diving. We had such an excellent experience with Whitney as our instructor. We easily were refreshed of our skills and went on an amazing dive! After seeing how amazing the reef was just across the road from the shop, we then decided to go on another guided dive with David as the guide, who pointed out all the amazing fish and coral, and we even got to see a seahorse!! My son ended up taking the advance open water course with Colin. He had a great experience and really enjoyed his time. We ended our experience with renting equipment and going off on our own to Playa Kalki and Piscado for the last day. I must say that the Dive Bus has excellent staff and resources for divers of all experience levels. Everybody is willing to share their knowledge and give advice for all the dive spots on the island. They are all very knowledgeable, experienced, and professional. I highly recommend this dive shop for anybody seeking an amazing dive experience on the island. We’re definitely going to come back to visit!!

Refresher Course - Whitney was great! She did a great job teaching the refresher course. She also was very knowledgeable of the dive site. I had a great time.

The Dive Bus -- They Go Above and Beyond - We went on a snorkel trip with the Dive Bus. We went to Cas Abou, a lovely beach with shade, trees and a long, wonderful beach. Our guide Colin told us where to snorkel and we were off! There was so much to see, both closer to shore and further out, where the wall starts. As wonderful as the beach was, I can't say enough about the staff. Mark, who picked us up, was prompt and informative. Doris, who is the person with whom you will communicate, always responded and was caring and communicative. Colin, the guide, was very competent, caring and funny! Finally, when I realized I lost my hat when I got back to the hotel room and asked them if it was there, they drove it over to my hotel!! This level of customer service is unheard of in most places and I was incredibly appreciative! Thank you Doris, Mark and Colin for a great day and for being such caring and competent people!

Super nice! - Refresher course done at the dive bus. In no time everything was clear again and we could go diving. After this I did a number of dives. What a nice staff who will do anything for you. They put you very much at ease and are super chill. I will definitely come back here again!🤙🏽

Refresher + Discover Scuba = A great time - I did the refresher course and my spouse did the discover scuba course. I was a really good experience, starting from the correspondence until the dive itself, everything was perfect and well organised. Our Scuba Instructor was Whitney and she was just the nicest person, she's responsible for the great time we had:) , both in an out of the water. Highly recommended Dive School!

Incredible vacation - My family and I just got back from an incredible vacation in Curaçao. We did 9 dives through The Dive Bus. The Dive Bus is a very professional run dive shop with a fun relaxed atmosphere. Collin is the best! We hadn’t dove since Covid, so Collin provided us with a refresher course and made sure we felt relaxed and comfortable getting back diving. He is an amazing tour guide below the surface as well as above. He pointed out seahorses, shrimp, squids, octopuses, turtles, and other sea creatures we may have missed, and while driving us to the different dive sites told us interesting stories about the island or places we were passing. If you are considering getting certified or want to meet a fun group of people who are passionate about diving and a shop that provides top quality gear, I highly recommend The Dive Bus. You will not be disappointed.

Great dive shop! - Great scuba diving shop with amazing staff and many gear rental options. We were 8 co-workers and 3 instructors for 1 week and every morning we showed up at the shop, our tanks and weights were ready. We had a secure area to hang up gear and store equipment. Great recommendations for safe areas to dive, train and practice our skills. We highly recommend it!

Great Refresher dive - I needed to take a refresher dive and my wife (who is not certified) wanted to take a discovery dive.. we found the PADI refresher course offered by Dive bus and were glad we did! This allowed us to dive together. We started on the beach right near their office and were able to get comfortable in a shallow lagoon (this made acclimating very easy if you have not been on a dive in years). My wife was very nervous but our group instructor (I think her name is Sonya) was very patient and understanding. Once we went through some basic steps in 3-5 feet of water, we then just descended to about 20-30 feet in a beautiful area right off the shore. The short dive was great and just what we needed :) Would definitely recommend Dive bus!
