About The Dive Bus
Based at Mambo Beach on Curaçao, The Dive Bus is the island's #1 rated PADI 5 Star IDC Centre — a green star and 100% PADI AWARE dive center that has been running seriously fun shore diving adventures for over 10 years. It was Curaçao's first 100% PADI AWARE and green star dive center, and it stays committed to eco-friendly, small and personal dive groups led by its four PADI instructors.
Courses and diving
Whether you're stepping into the water for the first time or building a career underwater, there's a course to suit. Options run from Discover Scuba Diving and the PADI Open Water Diver through Advanced Open Water, Refresher dives and the PADI Divemaster, with two-tank trips and guided dives on the house reef too.
Guided dives explore sites all around the island — from Car Pile and Pierbaai Reef on the house reef to Cas Abou, Superior Producer, Blue Room and Watamula — where you might meet turtles, eels, rays and vibrant corals. With a house reef, onsite classroom, free Wi-Fi and both English and Dutch spoken, it suits easy, relaxed Caribbean diving.

★ 2 · Amber H. · 2012-06-28We decided to try out the DiveBus on recommendations, we only needed to rent a BCD, Reg and tank because we had all our own gear. Despite this we still ended up paying almost $100 USD for 2 people. They are actually located across a busy street from the water so you have to gear up and treck across the street like an idiot to get to the water. Its heavy and hot and it pretty much sucked. They were however extremely nice and friendly, the gear was in great shape and they had a nice area for changing and a big board to show you landmarks for the dive and explained the different fishes you might encounter.
★ 5 · Ron v. · 2009-09-23The last day of our stay we discovered this dive centre near the Pierbaai Reef and the Car Pile. We first met with the owner of the dive centre, Mark, a British guy, who was very friendly. We immediately decided to do a dive with them. Later that day we went for the dive. Prices were on the high side, but the rental equipment was in excellent condition. We dove with Crowley, another very friendly British guy. We hadn't seen a green moray eel all week, so we asked him to look out for it and so he did. We found a giant green moray eel at the Car Pile Reef, which we later heard was their so-called 'house moray' named George. Visibility was great and we were as lucky to spot some Big Tarpons at the Pierbaai Reef as well. When we were back home they mailed us the photo's of that day. Now whenever I have a question about Curacao or diving in general, I e-mail them and they always come up with the answers I am looking for. All in all, one of the best dive centres I've ever visited.
