Duiken in Curacao

Tucked along Santa Barbara Beach in Curaçao, Duiken in Curacao is a PADI Resort run by two PADI Instructors who specialise in personalised, flexible diving. There are no fixed timetables here — you can dive or start a course any day of the week, at any time, with experiences shaped around beginners and seasoned divers alike. Sessions are guided in English and Dutch.

Courses and dives

Newcomers can take their first breath underwater with PADI Discover Scuba Diving, while the PADI Open Water Diver Course and PADI Advanced Open Water Diver build the path to certification. Experienced divers can join guided half-day outings, multi-day packages of eight guided dives over four days, or boat dives to explore further afield.

The local sites range across Beacon Point, Double Reef, East Point, Vaersenbaai (Kokomo Beach), Lost Anchor, Water Factory, the Superior Producer, Caracasbaai, Turtle Rock and Barracuda Point. Below the surface you might encounter sharks, turtles, rays, eels, ocean fish and vibrant corals. With a waterfront base, dive boat, free Wi-Fi, parking and full equipment rental, it suits divers who value a relaxed, tailored pace.
