“Awesome operation”

Reviewed 20 May 2013 NEW

We used this dive shop as a part of our package at All West Apartments and did one day of diving with them as well. Mushroom forest was fantastic and we loved Brian. Beware; there is no toilet on their boat :) Their house reef Alice in Wonderland is one of the best in Curacao. You can lock your gear... More

“Great place to go Scuba Diving”

Reviewed 24 April 2013

My partner got certified here and we did some diving together when an instructor. Everybody was very friendly and knowledgeable. Safety is a big concern too which was very nice to see. I highly recommend going out of the establishment for a dive. We did Evan's Plan wreck which was great. Lots of beautiful coral. I would go back if... More

“Diving in Western Curacao”

Reviewed 19 March 2013

I spent four days of am 2-tank dives with Go West in Curacao. They are a safe operation with large boats and good knowledge of the area. Go West is the place to dive if you want to dive on the sites on the West end, which we have heard is the best diving in Curacao. It is not as... More

“Go West Diving+All West Apartments=Fantastic Vacation”

We have dived all over the world in the last 20 years and have to say this is a great dive destination that gets very little attention. The reefs are healthy, fish life plentiful, and access to diving is easy for both shore and boat diving. And what makes it even better is the combination of All West Apartments and... More

We were in Curacao the last day of Carnivale, arriving from a cruise ship. The plan was to rent a car and drive to Go WEST and do the afternoon dive and head back to the boat. Due to the Carnivale Parade, we couldn't rent the car as the car rental place said the roads would be closed and said... More

“they understand rule one”

Reviewed 6 February 2013

we did twelve boat dives and a shore dive package. Management hires well and trains even better. The equipment is first class (although the dive boat does not have a head which caused one guest to abandon ship because of gastric distress). After an airport snafu which resulted in us having to stay at another location, Go west made it... More

“Dive staff is like a family.”

Reviewed 5 February 2013 via mobile

I visited by myself for a 7 day dive vacation. I am an instructor, so I have very high standards of safety and equipment. The shop is immaculate, the boats in great shape, the shore diving is some of the best in the world. What made the trip special, though, was how welcoming the whole dive staff was. They went... More

Thank you Brian for your candid review! We appreciate it. For more remote shore diving locations, a truck would definitely be advisable. Regarding your safety concerns... please know that ALL Police officers have personal sidearms, kevlar vests, batons and pepper spray as per the current law enforcement protocols. The robbery at the Lodge was unfortunate for sure and incidents like... More
