After reading all the positive reviews of "Clive", I signed up my daughter to dive with him. He was NOT FRIENDLY at all. The other 2 people on the dive trip were Dutch and he spoke Dutch to them then entire 2 hours. My daughter was completely ignored. And DO NOT make the mistake of leaving your dive card at... More

I did four dives with Clive on our trip to Aruba in February...wrecks, reefs, and drift dive. I planned on two more, but Clive was booked one of my available days. I highly recommend that you confirm plans ahead of time, since Clive sticks to his total maximum (7 divers max, I believe). I really enjoyed the 2-tank Finger Reef... More

We found Clive on the internet before travelling to Aruba. He was the only one without any negative comments so decided to contact him and book a couple of double morning dives as previous comments stated that he got booked up early. He wanted card details on an email to hold booking but I didn't want to do this for... More

Great package deal, and even though we were the only ones (me & my dive buddy) signed up for the night dive, Clive came through for us and didn't cancel the way any other dive company would. Don't waste your money elsewhere. Thanks Clive for hooking us up. 5/1/12-5/5/12 Todd & Steve. More

We dove the Jane C wreck (a captured drug boat) & the Barcadero Reef (drift dive with a sunken concrete barge?) I was surprised to see how Clive has such a small business that he runs out of his garage, yet he appears on paper to be bigger because he has been well documented in travel guides. I paid $100...

We'd never been to Aruba before so I researched dive ops here and on Scubaboard, Clive had fantastic reviews so I emailed him to set up dates. He's a one man show so you may not hear back immediately but you will hear back. I set up three days of diving with him and arranged that he pick me up... More

Dive Aruba offers personal attention and diversity of dive spots. Each dive is fully introduced, then led by Clive or his son Mark. They are exceptionally experienced and welcome divers at all levels of experience. Just make sure to "hit the head" before leaving the dock! More

This has also been posted on Scuba Board. Just returned from a great month in Aruba where I "Dived with Clive." Here's the link to Clive's site: http://divearuba.com/ I've used two other operators here in the past and I gotta say that Clive is by far the best one and I see no reason to use anyone else in the...

Got off the cruise ship and Clive picked us up, took us back to his place for equipment, since I didnt want to haul mine on a cruise trip. His boat isnt very big so he only handles 6-8 people. Much better than those big guys that take 20+. We got in and out of the water easily, nice dive... More

I recently returned from a 2 week vacation in Aruba. The primary purpose of my trip was to complete my PADI diving referral and then spend some time diving. I am in my 50’s and am not typically the best at these types of activities, although I have always wanted to scuba dive. Prior to the trip I searched the... More
