JADS Dive Center

At JADS Dive Center, diving is treated as a personalized activity. By keeping group sizes small, this PADI 5 Star Dive Resort in Aruba focuses on quality, personal attention, safety and comfort — so you're never just another member of a group. With three PADI Instructors and friendly staff, expect professional guiding to the best sites, new rental equipment in very good condition, and thoughtful touches like a fresh water shower and a relaxing spot to sit afterwards.

Courses and diving

Eight PADI courses and activities cover every level, from the PADI Bubblemaker (from USD 135) and Discover Scuba Diving (from USD 120) to the Open Water Diver Course (from USD 585) and Advanced Open Water Diver (from USD 515). Refresher and Emergency First Response options are available too, taught in English, Spanish or Dutch.

Divers explore the house reef and dive sites such as Baby Beach, with a chance to encounter sharks, turtles, rays, eels, molluscs, corals and more. A waterfront base with onsite training pool, classroom, dive boat and retail shop makes it well suited to beginners and certified divers alike.
