Every dive makes a difference!
The Little Green Boat was born from a simple idea.
Our outings are not just recreational dives. They are playful, purpose driven adventures and accessible underwater explorations designed to be enjoyed without pressure or pretence.
Each dive naturally contributes to a better understanding of Curaçao’s marine environment. We listen to the sounds of the reef, photograph seagrass beds, corals and turtles, map lesser visited areas, and explore underwater fluorescence during night dives.
Nothing heavy. Nothing academic. Just curious divers paying attention to the ocean and experiencing it a little differently.
Our aim is to make every dive engaging, curious and quietly enlightening, both for our divers and for those studying the ocean we love.
Who were we before ?
Before The Little Green Boat, our professional lives were less like what we do today.
Fabien worked in motorsports, and Caro managed bars and pubs in London. Two intense, demanding worlds that never dimmed our strong pull toward the ocean.
We have always been drawn to the sea. It was in the Canary Islands that we finally decided to go all in.
We sold our first sailboat, bought the one now with us in Curaçao, restored her from top to bottom, and crossed the Atlantic aboard her. One ocean later, we knew we had made the right call.
The journey that shaped us
It all started with the full renovation of our sailboat in the Canary Islands — a beautiful 1973 Amel Euros 41, with two masts and plenty of character.
Then came the Atlantic crossing. An experience that completely changed how we read the ocean, the weather, and navigation. Out there, you don’t just “visit” the sea — you learn to listen to it, understand it, and respect it.
Over the next 18 months, we sailed through much of the Caribbean, discovering different islands, meeting people along the way, and seeing first-hand the environmental challenges each place faces.
That journey shaped us. It’s influenced the way we dive, the way we explore, and the approach we bring to what we do today.
Our environmental commitment
From the moment we arrived in the Caribbean, we wanted to get involved in a concrete way.
In Grenada, we spent time helping young people learn to swim — many of whom grew up by the sea but had never been taught.
In Saint Barth, we participated in coral restoration programs.
In Curaçao, we regularly collaborate with two local organizations: Sea Turtle Conservation Curaçao for the identification and monitoring of turtles and Reef Renewal Curaçao for reef restoration.
This commitment is not a one-off. It is a guiding principle of our way of diving and living near the sea.
Why choose Curaçao?
Of all the islands we explored, Curaçao was the one that naturally held our attention.
Of course, it helped that Curaçao offers beautiful, accessible dive sites. But what really made us stay was the people.
Curaçao is proudly multicultural, open, and deeply attached to its identity. There’s a quiet confidence here — a strong sense of pride in being self-reliant, in knowing how to make things work, and in expecting little from others while still being supportive and welcoming.
That spirit resonated with us immediately. Curaçao has a strong, inclusive character — and it felt like home.
This has become our new home!!!
Who are we today ?
Today, The Little Green Boat is a small dive and marine exploration centre, built around quality rather than quantity.
We offer only private dives, designed to be calm and unhurried. The focus is on observation, photography, marine life behaviour, and simply paying attention to what’s happening around us underwater.
Our approach is simple: we take our time, move thoughtfully, and share what we notice along the way.
The goal is for every diver to leave with great memories — and a deeper understanding of the marine world they’ve just explored.
As sea lovers, we also share articles on scuba diving in Curaçao, snorkeling, sailing, and even topics related to marine biology and ocean conservation.
Whether you are curious about local culture or a lover of marine discoveries, our blog guides you to experience Curaçao in a different way.
Our vision for the future
We want to make The Little Green Boat a benchmark for respectful and scientific diving in Curaçao.
To welcome more photographers and marine science enthusiasts.
Strengthen our work with schools, young people, tourists and locals.
If our dives can contribute to research, inspire divers and encourage respect for the underwater world, then we are moving in the right direction.
Contacting us does not commit you to anything at all.
Why not put together a tailor-made experience that works around your interests, your timing, and your kind of adventure?
