When we met a few years ago on a beautiful Maldivian island (one as a recreational diver on vacation and one working as a dive instructor) we directly decided that we want to create our future life together (that was very romantic!). We both already had more than 10 years work experience in different areas and we wanted to meet the challenge to run our own business. It took us two years sometimes promising and sometimes des-illusioning research and traveling before we found our final destination! Curaçao combines the most important basic requirements. We not only found nice and friendly people, a promising tourism sector and a friendly atmosphere for investments but also and foremost beautiful Caribbean diving and a dive center which gives us the chance for further development and realizing our own ideas. We found what we have been looking for! Every day we enjoy creating together with our team the best dive vacation for our guests! To have happy visitors and students in our dive center who having fun diving and learning is our first goal!

Since I made my first dive through snow, ice and wind I never surfaced again. After I got my dive master in Holland I moved beginning of 2000 to for my Instructor Course. After the Mediterranean Sea and I finally arrived on Curacao . A nice and relaxed Island to give good courses in a chill environment.

Bon Bini, my name is Kevin and I am from Antwerp, Belgium. My first visit to the "Dushi Korsou" was in 2005, at that time i fell in love with its underwater world, the culture and bitterballen (some kind of Dutch fried meatballs). After traveling through Asia and working as a diving instructor in the Maldives, it became time to return to Curacao. So my girlfriend and i moved back to Curacao in October 2009, and having a great time ever since. I love diving and after 6 yrs as an instructor, i still love teaching people, watching their face when they surface after their first dive. My favorite course to teach is Nitrox. I look forward to seeing you on the island and showing you its beauty.

Got my open water during a holiday in 2001 and fell in love with the beautiful underwater world right away. Dived at exotic places all over the globe till I decided to go pro in 2008.

I’m on the island Curacao since the end of 2009 and I’m very happy that I decided to come over here. Safety, quality and high services are standards at Scuba Do, I work in a fantastic team, meet many interesting people and teach them or guide them on top dives every day.

Being the eldest team member, the younger ones nicknamed me “grand-dad”. I  started working as an instructor on Korsou in 2005, after working many years in a regular 9 to 5 job.  To me  Diving is a passion, that I share with my wife and son and daughter. To me diving is a way of life and not something you do just occasionally. 

Teaching people to dive, seeing how students from all over the world also get hooked on being underwater, is one of the most rewarding things I ever have experienced. I feel privileged  to work on an Island like Korsou, with it’s beautiful underwater world, its magnificent cultural heritage and it’s utmost friendly and hospitable inhabitants.

Hope to see you soon at Scuba-Do!

During a holiday in Bali in 2006, Edwin and I did our Open Water Course and we were sold right away! What a beautiful world under water!
 
After we sold everything in Holland, we went back to Bali to do our Instructor-Course. After working in Bali and Cambodia we landed here in Curacao.
 
Life is great and the diving easy, the view under water is really great! The climat is perfect, what else do we need!!

Hi, since February I work as a Dive Master with Scuba Do. How did I become a Dive master? I had 6 month military training with the Antiliaans Militie. For the following 6 month civil training I had to choose between different careers. I thought that it might be nice to become a dive master because I always liked the water and swimming.  In these 6 month I followed all the courses from Open water until Dive master. I am very happy that I made this choice because this career gives me the opportunity to meet new people, talk to people from different countries and learn languages. I am very glad that I can work with such a nice team at Scuba Do!
