“Great Intro to Diving!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 May 2013

Thanks for the Intro to Diving @Tugboat Diving Site! Angie & I had a blast. Pre-dive education was fun and very informative. Hans is a very patient instructor and makes sure you're comfortable both out of and in the water. Booking communication was fast, clear and easily done via e-mail. We visited on a cruise and Hans picked us up... More

Thanks for the review. And it was not only you having a blast, but we did also. It's great when the customers are enthusiastic, it makes the class easy. And having you comfortable on your first is so important that we like to take our time. We don't want your first dive to be your last dive. We hope to... More

“Dive Op is good enough, diving is so-so”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 May 2013

Hans at CURious2DIVE is a nice enough person and very responsive. However, do not expect food or drinks (not even water) to be provided by this operator when diving with them (they do not even own a boat so plan on shore dives unless you make arrangements well in advance and pay extra for boat diving). As for the diving... More

Ray, thanks for the review. I don't think it's necessary for a dive center to own a boat, when your specialized in shore diving like most of Curacao dive -operators. That's because our Island are very accessible from shore. The boat diving we do are full day attractions and that's in combination with other boat operators. Our fridge is full... More

“Can't recommend more highly”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 May 2013

Wow, what a great time. Hans was amazing. He runs a great shop and is an expert master. I can't recommend the shop more highly. A great experience. I arranged the dive on my own. I visited the island on a cruise. Hans picked me up at the dock and drove me back after the dives. Great service.

“A charitable cause, a passionate diver, unique experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 April 2013

I absolutely love when I can find a dive shop that takes out small groups because it is such a more intimate setting. Hans dive shop "Curious2Dive" is just that. With groups up to 6 I felt as though each dive was chosen and created for our group. He was very knowledgable and is the only dive center part of... More

DancingJess thanks for the excellent review. It was great to dance instead of dive trough the water with you guys. Small groups is our game, and with the reviews we get the fame. Quality and service are the tools to success and with all the critics and reviews we try to stay the best. But besides diving we know that... More

“Wonderful diving guides”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 April 2013

We are a group of 4 older women who love to dive from shore but are getting a little tired of hauling tanks & gear. Hans, the founder & guiding light of Curious2Dive, believes that people should not need to stop doing what they love. He & his assistant Isabel were wonderful guides. Hans knows all the island's dive sites... More

“Best stop on our entire cruise!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 April 2013 via mobile

I hadn't dived in 20 years, but had hundreds of dives before that with OLD equipment. My husband had never dived and was rather nervous. Top it off, I am no longer thin & athletic, and I broke a small bone in my foot days before arriving. I was hobbling in pain and afraid I wouldn't be able to dive.... More

Linda thanks for the excellent review. Refreshment was an eyeopener, but now it was obvious what development we have been throuh in diving. How much saver it is. That was also nice to the discovers to see and hear how things have gone better. And because we end our dive shallow and close to the shore (entrypoint) we can dive... More

“Excellent dive operation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 April 2013

I recently came back from a wonderful vacation in Curacao. Hans is a great guide and although we could not find a frogfish he made every attempt to find one to show me. I can't wait to come back and dive with curious2dive again and will not use anyone else. Hans is a great person not only to the people... More

Thanks for the review Tim. It's always great when a customer wants to see a specific creature. And when we have one on the reef it can be an easy task. The bad part is those creatures move and sometimes more than we expect. But next you visit us mail ,e upfront and we'll start search upfront for the Frogfish More

“Better than excellent!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 April 2013

Just as we say a picture can't do it justice, well I just can't say enough good about our dive trip with Hans Pleij @ CURious2DIVE in Curacao. He deserves your business and will earn it in every way while you are there. I found him on Cruise Critic and here on TripAdvisor while planning our port days for a... More

Thanks for the more than excellent review. It's a pity the rating goes only to excellent. Answering emails is almost the most important task. You have an answer and you want a reply. So for us it's easy to send you the reply, a.s.a.p. To impress a teenager is a different task, but I think everybody that goes under water... More

“Best Dive Operation in Curacao”

We just got back from our cruise and used Hans with Curious2Dive and he was FANTASTIC!!! He has already sent us the underwater pictures he took on our dive. On our second dive he brought his lionfish stuff and let my husband try to kill a lionfish - AND my husband got one - which Hans got a picture of.... More

Thanks for the review, that thing looking like a spider is an Arrow-crab. Nice animal that will clean your nails if you keep your finger still with him. Diving is relaxing, and that starts with a pick up on time and an easy transport. We'll take our time for the preparing and everything that has something to do with the... More

“GREAT TIME”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 March 2013

We did our research to dive in the island of Curacao. We had a fantastic time with the best dive operation around. It was wonderful diving with no stress. Hans was most accommodating to us. So as we always do dive with the BEST. Julie Croll USA
