Hi
@Ontwreckdiver! 1st, thanks for choosing Curaçao as a dive vacation destination! That is awesome!
Regarding quality boat diving operations in Curaçao, here is a list of the operators;
- Dive Charter Curaçao - excellent small operator providing personalized attention for a max of approx 6 per boat diving trip.
- Ocean Encounters - located at Sunscape and LionsDive, they offer excellent experiences using 4 custom dive boats ranging from 42 feet to 48 feet. - NOTE: you mentioned NO to this operator because of the Dolphin Dive products. Please appreciate that these products have largely been cancelled since COVID by Ocean Encounters. However these products are not a product of Ocean Encounters - they are a product of Dolphin Academy. Are they still available? YES, only as Dolphin Academy experiences now.
- Caribbean Sea Sports @ Dreams
- GOBY Divers @ Marriott
- GO WEST Diving at Playa Kalki in Westpunt.
If you are looking for dedicated shore diving operations, we can highly recommend;
- The Dive Bus Curaçao - they provide seriously fun shore diving adventures in Curaçao!!
Bottom line, is there are excellent operations on Curaçao and Ocean Encounters should not be discounted due to their past "reselling of products" via the Curaçao Dolphin Academy.
Enjoy Curaçao and please dive safe.
Regards,
Bryan
