My wife and I just returned from a trip to Aruba, where we did our diver referral with JADS. This means that we did our classroom and pool part of the certification process before our trip and completed our certification and open water dives in Aruba. Walter was our instructor and he did an excellent job in working with us.... more

My boyfriend and I tried three different companies for scuba diving in Aruba. He is a certified diver and this trip was my first time. My first two experiences were not so great...but Walter was fantastic! He has made me a scuba diving LOVER! We only wished we had done our first dive with him...instead of our last. My best... more

My daughters and I participated in the Discover Scuba Course at Jads, Walter was our instructor, he made my girls feel very comfortable and relaxed. We did 2 shore dives that were perfect for beginners. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Pick up and drop off at our hotel. I would recommend Jads to anyone. Jads would be the... more

Well, on a cold day here in Pennsylvania (it's going to snow tomorrow!) I'm thinking of my vacation in Aruba, back in September, 2009. I am certain that the staff of JADS are the best dive teachers, if not the best divers, on Aruba. My husband and I took a discover dive (my 1st dive ever) with Walter at Rocky... more

I did 4 days of boat diving and 1 day of shore diving with JADS. The service from the time I was picked up at my hotel to the time the dives were over and returned to my hotel was great. The boat captain and dive master were always friendly and made me feel welcomed. I couldn't have asked for... more

My husband and I just returned from Aruba where we dove 8 dives in 4 days celebrating our 20 year anniversary. Just recently certified and having never dove in the ocean along with some health concerns I was terrified. Walter (awsome guy!) altered the first shore dive for me and put a dive master in training on my side the... more

Dove two days on the boat. Captain and dive master were friendly and knowledgeable. Was impressed on 2nd day when a member of crew jumped overboard when we were cruising to the 2nd dive site of the day to collect a plastic bag that was seen floating (to keep turtles from mistaking for a jellyfish and eating it). Dive sites... more

Newly certified, my first time in the ocean was with Jads and I highly recommend them. JP also took us on tour of their expanded and soon to be completed facility. Next time, instead of visiting Jads while cruising... we will spend a week on our own. I'm sure you will enjoy your time with them. more

First time diving in Aruba and JADS was recommended to my wife and I. I am certified and my wife is not. I explained the situation and they were able to accomodate us with a one on one session and when complete, we were in the water. Since it was her first time, we elected for the picture package and... more
