Diving with turtles in Curacao: FAQ
Are you guaranteed to see turtles during this introductory scuba dive in Curaçao?
Sea turtles in Curaçao are wild animals, but we carefully select dive sites and timing to increase the chances of diving with turtles in Curacao and crossing paths with them. A Discover Scuba Diving experience allows you to observe them from below, in their natural environment, in a much calmer and more immersive way than from the surface.
How does the “Turtle Spotter” introductory dive work if I feel a little nervous?
Your comfort and peace of mind are our absolute priority. This introductory dive is private and guided by a dedicated French- and English-speaking instructor. There is no group pressure and no time limit pushing you along. We first build your confidence in shallow water where you can stand before swimming among the tropical marine life at your own pace.
What is your policy regarding sea turtle encounters?
We practise humble, sustainable and respectful tourism. Unlike mass tourism excursions, we never feed turtles to attract them artificially. Your bilingual French- or English-speaking instructor will teach you how to stay properly balanced underwater so you can observe them interacting naturally with the reef, without ever disturbing them.
Is this turtle-focused introductory try dive suitable for families or couples?
Your session is fully private for your duo or family (a minimum of two divers is required). You’ll enjoy a relaxed and memorable experience together, with high-quality equipment included, at the same per-person rate as group dives offered by the island’s larger dive centers.
