Advanced Adventurer Course Curaçao FAQ:
How does the training for the Advanced Adventurer Course in Curaçao work?
The Advanced Adventurer Course (equivalent to Advanced Open Water) is primarily focused on hands-on experience and the enjoyment of exploration. Forget long theory sessions: after completing your online review (a short e-learning module), you will complete five themed adventure dives directly in a natural environment.
At The Little Green Boat, the training typically takes 2 to 3 days. Each dive lets you try a different specialty to expand your skills as a certified diver. For example, your program may include a wreck dive, a night fluorescence dive, a lionfish hunting dive, in addition to deep diving, and possibly a dive focused on fish identification.
Why choose the Advanced course with The Little Green Boat in a 100% private format?
Choosing our private format means progressing at your own pace, without the stress or reduced attention of large groups. You benefit from an instructor (French, English or Spanish) dedicated entirely to you or your group.
Our training programs also include a strong eco-tourism and citizen science approach: you learn advanced diving skills while developing a deeper awareness of coral reef conservation in Curaçao.
What specialties are included in the Advanced Adventurer Course in Curaçao?
To complete your certification, two dives are mandatory: the Deep Dive (to learn how to manage depth and descend to 30 meters) and the Underwater Navigation dive (to master compass use).
For the other three dives, we choose them together based on your interests, among our signature specialties in Curaçao, such as a deep wreck dive, experiencing night diving, or helping protect the reef through lionfish hunting.
Does this certification allow access to Curaçao’s iconic dives (wrecks, lionfish hunting, etc.)?
Absolutely, that is the real purpose of this level. Earning your Advanced Adventurer certification gives you access to our most exclusive and technical diving experiences in Curaçao.
You will be able to join our lionfish hunting expedition “Predator Patrol”, explore the famous Superior Producer wreck, experience the thrill of our night dive with fluorescence “The Hidden Glow Show”, or take part in any other dives available in our certified divers program.
Why is the Advanced Adventurer course mainly conducted as shore dives with us?
In Curaçao, the magic starts right from the shore. The island’s most beautiful drop-offs and wildest coral reefs are directly accessible from the beach.
Training through shore diving completely removes the constraints of seasickness, boat motion, and fixed schedules typical of larger operations. We organize shore-based sessions with full flexibility to ensure maximum comfort and safety.
How can I organize my vacation in Curaçao around my Advanced Adventurer diving course in Curaçao?
Our tailor-made logistics are fully adapted to your holiday schedule. We only plan one private training session per day, leaving you completely free for the rest of the day.
This gives you time to explore Curaçao, stroll through the colorful streets of Willemstad, relax on the beaches of Westpunt, or even enjoy a private sunset cruise on the waters of Spanish Water.

After the course?
Once your Advanced Adventurer certification is completed, your underwater range expands to 30 meters, and Curaçao becomes a completely new playground.
To fully make use of your new privileges as an experienced diver, join our guided dives for certified divers and explore the deepest drop-offs and most remote reefs of the island.
You can apply your buoyancy control skills while lionfish hunting, return to explore the Superior Producer wreck, or capture unforgettable photos during a night dive.
And if you want to unwind and share stories from your week with a drink in hand, treat yourself to a timeless moment by booking our private sunset cruise aboard The Little Green Boat.
