Diving prices in Cura\u00e7ao: what you actually pay, line by line<\/h1>
\"Diving<\/figure>

Diving prices in Cura\u00e7ao at The Little Green Boat range from 90 to 103 US dollars per person, equipment included, and every dive is fully private. Add a second dive on the same day and the rate becomes 120 or 138 dollars per person, depending on the option. Certification courses start at 250 dollars for a specialty and go up to 550 dollars for Open Water Diver. Every figure below is taken straight from our own booking pages, and we show each one in Caribbean guilders too.<\/p>

The Little Green Boat is a French and English speaking dive centre in Cura\u00e7ao. Your dives run in English or in French, whichever you prefer, with a dedicated instructor who speaks both.<\/p>

No, a private dive doesn\u2019t cost more than a group dive<\/h2>

It is a common assumption: surely a private outing costs twice as much as joining a group of ten? Not with us. We charge the same per-person rate as the group dives run by the big dive shops on the island, as our Turtle Spotter<\/a> page explains.<\/p>

There are two reasons. First, we dive from the shore, so there is no boat to run. Second, we work in very small numbers: two divers minimum, one instructor. In other words, you are not paying extra for exclusivity. You are paying for a dive, and the privacy comes with it.<\/p>

Diving prices in Cura\u00e7ao, option by option<\/h2>

Our dives fall into two groups. On one side, introductory dives that need no certification. On the other, exploration dives for divers who are already certified.<\/p>

Introductory dives (no certification needed)<\/h3>

These cost 103 dollars (185 Caribbean guilders) per person, or 138 dollars (249 guilders) with a second dive on the same day. The rate applies to the Turtle Spotter<\/a>, the Mini Wreck Explorer<\/a> and the Coral Nubbin<\/a>. No experience is needed, and the minimum age is 10.<\/p>

Exploration dives for certified divers<\/h3>

Certified divers pay 90 dollars (162 guilders) per person, or 120 dollars (216 guilders) with a second dive the same day. That applies to the Turtle Tracker<\/a>, the Wreck Explorer<\/a>, the Predator Patrol<\/a> and The Hidden Glow Show<\/a>. You will need an Open Water Diver certification or equivalent.<\/p>

Bring your own gear and we take 20 dollars off. All of these dives need a minimum of two divers.<\/p>

What diving prices in Cura\u00e7ao cover, and what they don\u2019t<\/h2>

The rate includes full dive equipment, the pre-dive briefing and a certified instructor with you in the water. It does not include your personal dive insurance or getting yourself to the dive site.<\/p>

In practice, all you need to bring is a swimsuit, a towel, reef-safe sunscreen and a water bottle. We supply everything else. Not sure what to pack? Our shore diving safety guide<\/a> walks you through how we prepare an outing.<\/p>
