I won the trip as part of the KLM Sweepstakes "Win a VIP trip to Substation Curaçao" for me and a friend and it was too good to be true!!! The experience itself was a memory that will stay with me for the rest of my life. We were very fortunate to join the small circle of people that have... More

I really enjoyed the sub ride! I never thought that I'd ever be able to see what I was on the ride to the depths (540 ft) that we sent down to! Bruce kept everything light but I knew that if anything did go wrong on our trip down that it was quite possibly life-threatening. I was quite surprised at... More

This was by far the best experience I've ever had on a Caribbean island! What a wonderful way to see the ocean and its inhabitants. Very knowledgeable staff lead you on a spectacular trip down further than any diver can go where you encounter beautiful fish, corals and sponges. So unique, this is truly an adventure of a lifetime!! Worth... More

Took a "dive" with my wife and my 2 "hard to impress" teenagers on 15 March. EVERYONE loved it -- and left feeling in awe of the experience. I would reiterate what has been written in previous reviews - professionally run operation with friendly and highly competent staff. We were made to feel at ease and valued guests from the... More

Ever dreamed of taking a trip in a true deep diving submarine just like Jaques Cousteau?!!! Want to be Sir Richard Branson for a day?!!! If you think about it, only a few humans have ever been able to or even get the chance to travel so deep into the ocean. You go much deeper than any sport diver can... More

This submersible is truly amazing. I was there with a school group from my college to study the coral reefs in Curaçao. We all had the amazing opportunity to dive substation Curaçao. I was in the submersible with one of my professor's who has completed many research dives in submersibles before and even he was impressed by the quality of... More

I have had the good fortune to have made deep dives on research submersibles in the past and had questions about what a tourist sub operation in the Caribbean might be like. No worries. The sub was built by a well known and respected company and is maintained and operated to very high professional standards. Starting with the pre-dive briefing,... More

We had seen pictures of the Curasub online, and we excited about it until we saw the price. Only after seeing the other reviews here that said it was worth every penny did we decide to go. We would wholeheartedly agree. They were the most professional operation that I have experienced in years of traveling. They take safety extremely seriously... More

I spent an unbelievable 45 minutes diving down 475 feet below the surface in a "submarine", a vessel holding 4 people plus the pilot. The orientation was superb, the experience sublime, as I viewed the underwater life of the Carribean . The pilot, or captain, was very professional. He described everything we saw. I felt totally safe. I received a... More
