I recently spent a week in Curacao and completed 9 dives with OE, my wife made 5 dives. We've been on trips with other operators and have taken our kids on adventure trips to Peru and other places and this operation falls short on customer service and attitude from what I've experienced else where on the globe. Some of the... more

Don't go dive with them! All they want is your money. The reception staff is very professional talking you into their dives and make you believe that it is going to be fantastic. They are eager to get your credit card at the very beginning. Unfortunately, I have to say we were trapped after giving them the credit card and... more

It is a DAN member and supporter and a PADI 5-star facility. All levels of instruction are available. From the friendly and efficient office staff to the equipment room staff to... more

I have been to Curacao several times and visited several dive operations on the island. As an experienced diver, (300+ dives) I look for the overall quality of a dive operation including customer service, accommodations for dive gear, if they are family friendly, and how the dive crew interacts with the divers (assist inexperienced divers, dive briefing, displays genuine interest... more
