Bryan Horne was very knowledgable about traveling to Curacao for a dive vacation with my wife and three sons in their 20s. Bryan offered several alternatives, and ultimately recommended LionsDive Beach Resort. This was a perfect suggestion. The diving is excellent and the dive shop definitely deserves a 5 Star PADI rating. Bryan is an excellent source for those considering a dive trip to Curacao. We will definitely consider coming back.
Many thanks David, to you and your family, for choosing Curaçao for your Caribbean dive vacation! More importantly, we are so happy that you all enjoyed your experience at LionsDive Beach Resort and scuba diving with Ocean Encounters! Thanks again... We really appreciate you taking the time to post this 5 Star review of our services and we look forward to welcoming you back!
Sincerely, Bryan Horne

Bryan went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for our vacation. He was incredibly patient with us as we figured out what kind of accommodations and options would be the perfect fit. Everything was taken care of and all we had to do was show up to the island. We chose to stay in Westpunt, it was peaceful and quiet. We loved the diving up there and dove almost everyday at the Alice in Wonderland site. Bryan took care of the accommodations, set up a dive package and even handled the rental car. Highly recommend if you’re planning a trip to Curaçao. We will be returning and using Bryan again in the future. Thank you Bryan for everything!
Carrie, many thanks for this wonderful review of your Curaçao dive vacation experience and thanks for adding your photo's too! It was truly a pleasure to assist you and your partner with accommodations at Nos Krusero Apartments, diving with GO WEST Diving and of course, your vehicle rental! Thanks again for choosing Curaçao as your dive vacation destination and we will look forward to see you again to continue your Curaçao diving adventures.
Sincerely, Bryan Horne

I am eternally grateful for Bryan and his help with my large group that came to dive with The Dive Bus in April! Knowing that Bryan was only a message away really helped ease my anxiety and helped keep the week running smoothly. Bryan came in clutch with a few issues I ran into during the week which allowed me to stay with my group instead of leaving to handle what I needed to handle and I cannot thank him enough!
I highly recommend booking with Dive Travel Curacao (and The Dive Bus!).

Dive Travel Curaçao est un service très personnalisé, Bryan est très professionnel et répond très rapidement aux questions, il est très passionné. Il a été d'une très grande aide pour notre 1er voyage à Curaçao. À notre prochain séjour, je vais encore communiqué avec lui ça c'est certain. ❤️🤿
Thank you so much Chantale for your wonderful review of the services we provided that personalized your 2023 Curaçao dive vacation.

We have been bringing groups to Curaçao for 36 years. Watched the island progress from an unknown destination to the Top Caribbean destination for divers and non divers alike. If you want to visit just yourself or with a group, you will be well taken care of with Dive Travel Curacao. Tell Bryan that Great Lakes Divecenter sent you. Your first Polar will be on him! 😉
Many thanks Dave for this wonderful 5 STAR Review! However, I believe we need to thank you, and Great Lakes Divecenter in Michigan, for your incredible dedication and love for our Dutch Caribbean island of Curaçao!! Because of this love and passion for Curaçao, you have consistently chose to return with dive groups for the past 36 years with a total of 36 dive groups to Dive Curacao!! ❤️💙💛 This last trip in November for your annual Thanksgiving trip was once again EPIC to say the least!! Thank you so much for choosing Curaçao as your dive vacation destination again where you stayed 10 nights at LionsDive Beach Resort and did 7 days of diving with Ocean Encounters! See you all in 2023 because you have rebooked 2 more more groups for March and November!
Sincerely, Bryan Horne

The biggest of shout-outs to Bryan and the Team at Dive Travel Curacao. We recently returned with a group of 28 guests (booked through Bryan) and we can say with certainty that Bryan made this our best Curacao adventure yet. Float N’ Flag Travel prides itself on offering the best travel experiences for our customers, and Bryan makes this easy. He personally met us at the airport, and then joined us for a private, special check-in for our group at the hotel. During our stay, Bryan looked after all the arrangements, including organizing transportation and reservations for the group. The service was spectacular, as always, and yet Dive Travel Curacao always seems to find a way to step it up a notch. Whether you’re travelling on your own, or with a group, make sure to use Bryan and the team at Dive Travel Curacaô to help make your vacation to Curacaô the best it can be. You’ll be treated like family.
Many thanks Brad, Tammy and your wonderful Float N' Flag groups for consistently returning to Dive Curacao! It is always a pleasure to work with Float N' Flag Travel to ensure your customer expectations are met or exceeded! It is obvious by your 5 STAR GOOGLE Review that as a team, we accomplished that goal! Thank you so much again for choosing Curacao twice in 2022 (staying at Sunscape Curaçao Resort, Spa & Casino and diving with Ocean Encounters) as a group diving vacation destination. We are looking forward to welcoming you back in 2024 so you can continue exploring our beautiful island, both above and below the waterline!! Sincerely, Bryan! 👌💯❤

Bryan was very responsive to my inquiries and attentive to details. He went above and beyond in personalizing my vacation and ensuring a smooth experience. Local vendors ( dive shop and hotel) spoke very highly of him as well. I will be booking with him again and would recommend without hesitation his service.
Update: Second time traveling with Bryan. His level of expertise and attentivness are trully unmatched. He is well-respected for his professionalism and only partners with the best vendors.
The rental car we had was perfect, almost brand new! Sunscape is a very nice hotel and the housereef in front of it is easily one of the best dives Curacao has to offer. Williamstadt is a stone throw away and definitely worth the time to visit.
Bryan is very good at what he is doing and I would highly recommend his service to anyone travelling to Curacao!
Thank you Galin for choosing to "Dive Curacao" in 2022 and for taking the time to post this first rate review! We are so happy that you enjoyed your experience and your stay at Sunscape Curaçao Resort, Spa and Casino, plus the boat and shore diving services at Ocean Encounters!
Also, many thanks for deciding to book again for December 2022!! Our Dive Travel Curaçao Team will look forward to welcoming you and your family back so you can continue exploring the endless possibilities here in Curaçao. See you soon.
***** UPDATE: November 2022 *****
Galin, thank you once again for choosing Curaçao as your dive vacation destination, and for this wonderful updated 5 STAR REVIEW! Simply, it is our pleasure to ensure you and your family have an excellent all around experience during your stay. We are so happy that we met and exceeded your expectations. Looking forward to welcoming you all back so you can continue to explore and Dive Curaçao! See you soon.
Sincerely, Bryan Horne

Bryan (Dive Travel Curacao) helped us put together a great dive trip to Curacao for our three-diver group. We did a "sleep, dive and drive" package, staying at Lions Dive Resort and diving with Ocean Encounters (a good operation that's conveniently located on the Lions Dive property). We were very happy with the arrangements and the diving - two-tank AM boat dives with rental truck and tanks available for shore diving on our own in the afternoons. Bryan couldn't have been more helpful for sorting out options and handling arrangements prior to out travel. He was easy to contact via WhatsApp, knowledgeable about properties and suppliers he works with, patient with questions, etc. He also was able to meet us at the airport and steer us through car rental and get us on our way expeditiously. It was a pleasure to work with Dive Travel Curacao on out trip; I would gladly recommend them to anyone looking to put together a diving package on the island.
Many thanks George for this 5 Star review of our services and of your 2022 Curaçao dive vacation! It was a real pleasure to assist you, Andrew and Michael with all the arrangements to ensure all of you had a wonderful dive vacation experience!!
Thank you again for choosing to Dive Curaçao and we will look forward to welcoming you back so you can continue your diving adventures on our Dutch Caribbean Island!
Sincerely, Bryan Horne

Bryan and Dive Travel Curacao made our vacation easy and stress free. He took care of all the arrangements from hotel, to diving, and airport transfers; we just had to show up and enjoy the beauty of the island. Bryan was readily available and incredibly responsive to any questions both before and during our trip. We can’t wait to return and would definitely use Dive Travel Curacao again!
Thank you Sarah for posting this wonderful 5 Star review of your dive vacation to Curacao! We are so happy you and Phillip enjoyed your experience at Sunscape Curacao plus your dive package with Ocean Encounters!! It was truly a pleasure to be able to look after everything for you so that you "just had to show up and enjoy the beauty of the island". We will look forward to welcoming you back so you can continue exploring our beautiful island and of course, Dive Curacao!!

We had never been to Curacao but had time for a few days on the way to Bonaire. I contacted Bryan and he arranged everything from hotel to diving to transportation to and from the airport. Her even personally met us at the airport to make sure everything was OK. His service was perfect including supplying links to upload our dive info to Ocean Encounters and everything else we needed. We loved Curacao and hope to return in the future. We will absolutely use Bryan and Dive Curacao again.
Many thanks Steven, for providing this wonderful review of your 2022 Curacao diving vacation and the services Dive Travel Curaçao provided! We are so happy that you enjoyed your Dive Curaçao experience at LionsDive Beach Resort and, of course, the diving with Ocean Encounters!! It is an absolute pleasure to hear that our service for you was "perfect", but it is more important that you "loved Curacao and hope to return in the future".
Thank you so much once again for choosing to Dive Curaçao in 2022 and we will absolutely look forward to welcoming you both back again so you can continue to explore our beautiful Dutch Caribbean Island!

Incredibly efficient, and extremely helpful. Made the whole experience of travel an absolute stress free week. That’s the whole point isn’t it? Will be returning, no question.

Bryan and the group at Dive Travel Curaçao made this trip so special and memorable. Out of the few times I’ve been down to Curaçao in the past 15 years, this trip was the GREATEST of them all. LionsDive Resort and Ocean Encounters were the perfect combination of amazing diving and then amazing beach life after to enjoy the rest of your day. We were waited on with amazing service, delicious food, and just overall hospitality. There is so many things you can do here and enjoy for any diver or non diver. I would recommend this place and group to anyone who wants to visit and enjoy Curaçao.
Thank you Kevin for this generous 5 star review about our Dive Travel services and how wonderful your holiday experience was during your recent Curaçao dive vacation! It is always been a pleasure to serve you, and your family, over the past 15 years but to know this was "GREATEST of them all" is incredibly humbling to hear! Thanks again!
We will look forward to welcoming you back in November of 2022 so you can continue exploring Curaçao!
Sincerely, Bryan Horne

We had an awesome time at Lions Dive and Ocean Encounters. Both places provided us with outstanding services. This was all made possible by Dive Curacao and Bryan Horne. Thanks Bryan for all you have done, looking forward to our future encounters.
Thank you so much John and Rhonda for posting such as wonderful review of your 2022 Curaçao dive vacation and of the services we provided! Truly, it is a constant pleasure to continually welcome you both back to Curaçao year after year. But this time, it was extra special to see you both!
Looking forward to seeing you both in 2023!

We just had the most amazing trip to Curacao! Bryan and his team helped us put together the right package at LionsDive. He was very responsive when we had questions, kept us abreast of the constantly changing COVID requirements, and kept in touch with us on WhatsApp throughout the trip. I definitely recommend booking with Dive Travel Curacao.
Many thanks Linda - to you, your family and your friends for choosing Curaçao as a diving vacation destination in 2022! It was an extreme pleasure to work with you in order to personalize your holiday experience.
We are so happy you all had an excellent experience at LionsDive Beach Resort, diving with Ocean Encounters and exploring our beautiful Caribbean island!

Bryan helped us organize a fishing excursion with Fish Charter Curacao which was a great morning of fishing! My son loved it and we will definitely go again. It is nice to have a resource on the island to help with booking and Bryan was fantastic.
Many thanks Julie!! We are truly happy to be of service because we are truly passionate about providing our visitors the best tourism products here in Curaçao!
Once again thank you for your excellent review of our services and we are extremely pleased your
family enjoyed their experience with Fish Charter Curaçao!

I have been diving in Curacao with Bryan Horne and Dive Travel Curacao for 8 years. The extensive network that DTC has with the islands top dive operators, rental car companies and accommodations makes for One-Stop shopping.
One of the highlights of this trip was a dive to the coral restoration farm just offshore of Ocean Encounters. Dive Travel Curacao has been such a big supporter of coral restoration and Environmental Protection in Curacao.
I highly recommend a visit to Dive Travel Curacao's website at divecuracao.info and check-out the extensive dive site information and travel planning that they have to offer.
Thank you Steve for your dedicated patronage over the years and for providing this excellent 5 Star Review of the services we provided for your Curacao diving vacation in 2022!! We are so happy you enjoyed your boat diving and shore diving experience with Ocean Encounters plus the vehicle rental service that allowed you and your family to explore Curaçao - both above and below the waterline!!
Thank you once again and we will look forward to welcoming you back to Curaçao in 2023 so you can continue the adventure and of course, Dive Curaçao!

A place so nice, I’m going back twice!! We Spent an amazing week diving in Curacao in January, all seamlessly arranged by Bryan through Dive Curacao. Bryan knows the island and it’s dive sites intimately, and was able to customize a package for us through which suited our diving wishes perfectly. He recommended great shops and was available at a moments notice to answer any questions we had, and also made recommendations for things to see while on land, and places to eat to refuel for the next day’s dives! Can’t thank you enough Bryan for all your help and guidance, and can’t wait to see you and dive Curacao again next month!
Thank you Valerie for this wonderful review and for re-booking with Dive Travel Curaçao so quickly to continue your diving adventures here in Curaçao!!!
We are looking forward to welcoming you back to Dive Curaçao!! See you soon and thank you once again.
Sincerely, Bryan Horne
