Phenomenal experience with a highly skilled and professional dive shop!! - The care and attention given to our group was phenomenal. We are recreational divers, once a year while on vacation and they catered to our needs like we were royalty. I can't say enough nice things about them. The owners are incredibly nice and knowledgeable. Last year I went with a different dive shop every dive. I used the dive shops at the beaches we visited. That was the overwhelming advice I was given. None of the dive shops we used last year could even compare to jan theil. This year we dove exclusively with jan theil and it was a great decision. They even had a professional photographer take pics and video of my son throughout an entire dive. We stayed in coral estates, 45 minutes away. Well worth the extra driving for us.

#1 dive shop for a reason - They go above and beyond to make your 2 tank dive relaxing. Cas and Dennis are such fun dive masters to have around. I will be back anytime I’m on the island.

Amazing dive experience - It was my first trip to Curaçao, and I wasn't sure what to expect. My main goal was to take two dives: one wreck dive, leaving the other open for suggestions. I was recommended to join Jan Thiel Diving for this special experience. We explored the Superior Producer and Marie Pampoen, both shore dives. I have to say, I enjoyed the dives to the fullest—it was amazing! For the dive, I didn't bring any camera gear, so I arranged for their professional photographer to join me underwater. When I say professional, I mean the real deal with top-notch equipment! They offered great support and were highly professional, creating a relaxed atmosphere that made the experience even better and great fun to spend a day with. In short, they have a great team, a great vibe, and offer stunning dives. It was a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend them!

Great experience! - We went on 3 amazing dives with Jan Thiel Diving over two days and both of the guides we had (Denis and Gus) were great! The dive sites were spectacular both in terms of coral and wildlife. We felt very safe (we had 2 beginners in the group, so this was very important) and the guides were sure to point out all of the wildlife they saw including turtles, seahorses, pufferfish and more! Highly recommend diving with them.

The super nice experiences and a brilliant team - We went diving with Jan Thiel Divers 3 years ago and my husband also learned to dive here. We were so happy that we had to come back and dived with Dennis for a total of 4 days (12 dives). It was super uncomplicated, our ideas and wishes were always taken into account very kindly. The equipment is in top condition and we saw almost all of the dive sites on the island. Everyone is super nice and helpful, we learned a lot and laughed a lot together. Questions were always answered and we also received lots of tips about the island and diving alone. The night dive was also great and my fear was taken into account. If necessary, you can also hold hands. We have never felt so comfortable diving. We will definitely come back!!! We would especially like to thank Dennis, but all of Jan Thiel's employees are super nice and we would go diving with anyone. Thank you very much for everything!!! ❤️ We will definitely come back ☺️ Vroni and Albert
