We dove previously with “Go West” (GW) a few years back when it was “Ocean Encounters West” and the customer service and diving experience are still exceptional. The entire crew was great – from the shop to the boat crew and dive guides. Their dive shop has to be one of the cleanest and best-organized operations I’ve ever seen. They... More

Good dive operation! super divemasters, friendly, knowledgeable, helpful. Nice lush reefs and easy diving, rarely below 65 feet. the coral is healthy and lovely. What I liked the best was the flexibility of the diving; they always plan to go out against the current, turn around, and come back, but if you get out there and the current is strong,... More

My wife and I wanted to add to the list of kudos the entire team at Go Diving West. We participated in 3 x 2 boat dive days - one day on and one day off - over the last week of February and first week in March. The people were awesome - and we were particularly well cared for... More

Just spent 8 nights in Curacao's west end of the island. We stayed at All West Aparments in a dive bundle including rental car and shore diving. This is our 3rd time with them. The overal experience with All West and Go West Diving was outstanding. The staff at Go West is top notch. Professional but fun to be with.... More

This was our second trip to Curacao and both times the crew from GO WEST Diving (formerly known as an Ocean Encounters West) made us feel very welcome and safe underwater. The girls at the front desk and at the rental counter were very nice, efficient and helpful. The Dive Masters Ryan, Steve and Jon were very knowledgable and experienced.... More

First off, this was my THIRD trip back. First time I went solo, second time I brought a whole bunch of others; this past trip I brought my 11 year old son for the PADI Junior Open Water course. I'm a PADI certified divemaster, so if this is the place I brought my son for his first ever dive experience... More

I dove with OEW for 9 days, July 15-July 25. My last dive of the trip, at Watamula, was my 300th in my five-year diving career, and it capped off a most memorable trip with a friendly, helpful group of dive masters. Every day was a great new adventure, and even though the dive boat was quite croweded on a... More

Ocean Encounters West is an extremely professional operation featuring mature and knowledgable divemasters and an accomodating staff. My wife and I are experienced divers who chose OEW for its location on the west end of Curacao, which we found has excellent diving (rivaling Bonaire in our opinion). The boat dives are guided, but competent divers with computers are given an... More

While staying at hotel next door, we tried to arrange Junior OWD lessons for my 10-years old son. This did not work out after 2 days of asking and the feeling remained that this is mainly the result of prefering larger profitable groups over kids. Ultimately we were able to arrange the lessons and have a perfect and personal diving... More
