Welcome! Thank you for visiting us as you reflect on this beautiful location at Curacao. Divers Republic is your dive center where you can enjoy a level of service, remoteness and tranquility rarely found anywhere else. The 80° F (26.6°C +) water is second to none when it comes to clarity and it is said that more underwater photographs are taken in Curacao than in all other Caribbean destinations. Home of the world's most pristine reefs, Curacao offers what many claim to be the "best diving in the world." As you peruse our house riff you'll understand why Divers Republic is without equal in dive safety, experience and awareness for nature that build new traditions and memories that last a lifetime.

On the very last day of my Trip i went diving with dario and it was amazing. HE was so patient with me, because i had forgotten almost all the basics...the check ...the ....everything. Anyway-dario gave me a refreshing of basics and above all safety...MoreHello Gianna, Thank you for the time you spend on writing this review. Also thanks for the nice words. I'm glad that you had a amazing experience with Dario. Hope to see you someday again at Divers Republic. Bob

There are 2 loups available in the park. We did the lower loop which was shorter.
Very well marked for the lookout spots and roads in good condition. Abit steep at times but the diversity of the scenery as you drive is interesting. Caves with bats and paintings offer a short hike. Lots of different birds and iguanas
At the park entrance there is a landhuis to tour and a restaurant also.
You can buy cold water at the entrance for your hike.

Rene was very flexible when it came to scheduling our dive and offers a pick-up service from where you are on the island.
We had booked an introductory dive and were taken to the tugboat diving site in open water. After a briefing on where exactly the tour would take us and what we could expect, Rene instructed us carefully on the gear and how he would make sure everything is in order during the dive. He also made sure we understood the dive and communications before setting off.
The dive itself was gorgeous, very enjoyable and left us wanting more. As each diving experience must be unique, we were glad Rene pointed out the more elusive water creatures we might have missed.
The NAFL 300 for 2 seemed like a bargain for the event.
We would gladly go for more dives with the Red Snapper and can wholeheartedly recommend the experience!

Coral Divers

Reviewed By LHoward5496 - Ottawa, Canada

We visited Coral Estates from January 31-2018 to Feb 14. Such an amazing change from our last trip there in 2005. Coral Divers is the icing on the cake! Wonderful dive operation. Lots of rental gear, rinse tanks, showers, gear lockers and superb service. The house reef is still beautiful, with even easier access to the water. I opted for mostly shore diving, but grabbed a couple of boat dives when my buddy got sick. Those dives had Andrew as our DM. We had some great dives, with several of them being my Lionfish hunting excursions. I filled the zookeeper both times and turned the fish over to Toby at the restaurant. It was nice to see the former boat captain from the 'Habitat' days driving the boat. A chance to swap some old stories! Caremi Eckardt and her staff always ensured we had everything we needed to enjoy our dives. We are planning our return for next year.

Boca Sami (St. Michiels Bay)

Reviewed By Pam v - Willemstad, Curacao

A beautiful little bay, a village of self-willed people, next to former salt lakes.
There is a Terrace, there really is .And maybe even a second one is slowly developing ... But for some mysterious, and not-to-be-discovered reason this place is not commercialized at all!
Enjoy the natural state of everything, enjoy the incredibly beautiful bay, the lazy village life, and, also very interesting: the best diving school on the island which does not feel the need to advertise either! A nice beach, an anchored raft in the bay. In the surroundings very nice and sporty walks can be made (Curacao Footprint Foundation), and the sea has never been more refreshing than after such a walk!
I've been here often and I never get bored of the place.
Oh, I almost forgot the fisherman: fresh fish daily! A treat for all: children, solo's, couples, groups of friends, teens!

Flamingo Sanctuary Sint Willibrordus

Reviewed By AKAshon - Oakville, Canada

We came here on a Monday evening on Christmas Day. As the sun was setting at this time, the sunlight reflected in the waters was beautiful! There was about 6 flamingoes, pink and white in color, that were also quite beautiful. It was a quick 5 minute visit on our way back to Willemstad. And a must-visit if you’re passing by. But if it’s out of your way, probably not worth it to be honest.

Me and my husband went riding on our honeymoon, I had had some lessons before but for him it was the first time. Staff was very friendly and eager to help us organise a trip for us even though we had not made a reservation before hand. Horses were beautiful, healthy, well taken care of and suitable for beginners. Thank you!

So it’s my wifes birtday and I book a half day at the spa. Our couples massage is booked for 14:45. We arrive, have a complementary coffee and get a tour. Next we change and take to the jacuzzi, pool, lounge around, have a go at the steam room and the ice room. After lunch we get ready fand r our massage and await to be picked up from the lounge. To our surprise a lady comes up to us and announces that our massage is delayed till 15:30, if that is a problem? I explain that it is as they close at 17:00, leaving us no time to relax after the massage. She leaves and the manager appears announcing that the massage is delayed til 16:00 due to late arrivals. I proceed to explain that it is unacceptable, especially to be punnished for arriving on time while those clients arriving late are rewarded with a massage. In an attempt to make good they offer a massage on another day. I proceed to explain that it is my wifes birthday and that will just not do. We are both self employed and made special arrangements to be there on my wifes birthday. The worst experience and service ever. They should be ashamed of themselves for favoring customers who,arrive late above those showing up on time. Won’t surprise me if they go out of business with this kind of attitude. Shame on you!

It was a nice church but nothing special. Took a picture and left. The nice thing was that it was only a three minute drive from the salt flats where the flamingos are and about five minutes from Finca Casju, the ranch where we went horseback riding.

Playa Porto Marie

Reviewed By SueWnow - Toronto, Canada

Great beach with great sand!!
There were 2 pigs (yup, pigs) roaming the beach just walking through the chairs and in the water. Quite funny!
There is an entrance fee (can't remember how much) and chair rentals $3.50 USD per chair
The drive in from the main road is pretty bumpy - if there is an entrance fee, can't the $$$ be used to fix some of the bumps??
If you get there early enough, there is lots of shade along the back of the beach or you may be lucky enough to get an umbrella.
Restaurant and washrooms were good. It's OK to bring your own cooler to this beach.
Relax and enjoy!
