Do you already have your Padi Open Water, and you want to improve your experience as a diver? Then choose the advance open water dive course. During this course you will gain even more experience, as you will learn to increase your diving skills with additional tools.
You will make 5 different dives under supervision. Of these, there will be 2 mandatory dives: 1 deep dive and 1 navigation dive. You can compose the other 3 dives yourself. You can choose from our specialties such as: a luxury boat dive, night dive, wreck dives, drift dives, fish identification dive or a buoyancy dive.
During this course one frequently decides to obtain the nitrox license. This is something we definitely recommend because it allows you to extend the length of your dive.
If you dive with compressed air on a wreck at 30 meters, you can stay under water for a maximum of 17 minutes at a depth of 30 meters. However, with a nitrox tank, you can extend your dive by 11 minutes and stay under water for up to 28 minutes at a depth of 30 meters.
At “About Jackie Fine Diving” we think it is important to take to time with all divers to teach them responsibly so that everyone can have fun and enjoy themselves underwater.
With us you will receive an extensive VIP treatment, because we also like to pamper you in the culinary field. All our course days are fully catered for with homemade food and drinks. So you don’t have to think about anything other than getting your padi!

Hanna BaffoneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My parents and I went on an awesome dive trip with Jackie in early December of 2024. We typically look for smaller dive shops as opposed to the commercial (crowded) companies. There was only 6 people on board— very private and personal which I love. Jackie was a spectacular dive guide— so friendly and helpful throughout our whole trip. She also gave us plenty of suggestions for restaurants and other excursions to do during our time in curaçao. She even lent us snorkels and fins at no cost! Jackie made our family trip that much better and we will be diving with her when we return to curaçao. I cannot recommend Jackie enough! Maggie EndicottTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I booked a 2 tank private dive with Jackie during our port stop at Curaçao on our cruise and it was by far the highlight of our trip! Jackie took the time to make sure we were both comfortable in the water since we told her it had been a few years since our previous dive. The two dives spots she took us to were absolutely beautiful, and we had an amazing lunch at a local restaurant. The smoothies and snacks she brought were also a very nice touch after the dives and it is super awesome to have copies of the videos she took. The whole experience felt super personalized. One thing that did throw me off at first was that she asks for a wire transfer for the initial deposit, since I have never experienced doing that. But I am so glad I stumbled upon Jackie's diving experience because it was absolutely amazing. As soon as we got back to port my husband and I were raving about the day and how we can't wait to come back and do another dive with her. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Elizabeth BaffoneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jackie’s Fine Diving establishment was fantastic! Her attention to detail was impeccable, her care to make sure you were always comfortable outstanding. Her equipment for diving great. We (my family) have been all over the Caribbean and other parts of the world diving, and by far this was one of our better experiences. She was very caring and just a pleasure to be with. She picked us up at our VRBO personally, and took us home. Recommended places to visit and eating establishments. I can’t say enough good things about her dive center. The boat captain was also very accommodating. Great experience! Matt GuyaderTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Definitely recommend About Jackie to anyone looking to dive while staying in Curaçao. She’s both professional and personable and makes the whole experience wonderful. My fiancée and myself booked a private dive and Jackie made us both feel comfortable while also taking the patience to make sure we were safe while diving. We saw an amazing amount of sea life and were lucky enough to see a few sea turtles (Jackie knew which spots to take us ;)). Her services are offered at a great price and she even films the whole trip for you!! Can’t recommend Jackie enough and hope that we can come back to the Curaçao soon. Tim HealyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Such a great experience learning to scuba with Jackie! I took the beginning portion (in a pool) last Spring and then worked with Jackie to complete my scuba certification this past Fall in the BEAUTIFUL waters of curaçao. Jackie was quick to respond, super flexible with timing, and did a great job of meeting me where I was at skill-wise and giving me the guidance to confidently scuba. I went out with Jackie for 4 dives over the course of 2 days and it was AMAZING! She made it easy to ask questions, learn, and get comfortable in the water - plus she shared a bunch of other tips and recommendations for activities and restaurants on the island. It honestly felt like I had my own personal tour guide and learned a lot about the water and the island each trip with Jackie. On each day, she brought along delicious smoothies, cold water, and snacks to enjoy before and after each dive. The water in Curacao is perfect for beginners, those who need to refresh their skills, or those just learning. Since you scuba dive right in from the shore and the water is crystal clear it felt like a breeze and less intimidating than diving in from a boat in deep water. Thanks Jackie for the great experience-would definitely scuba with Jackie again! May-La KuijpersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Afgelopen week heb ik met Jackie gedoken bij Klein Curaçao. Ondanks dat mijn beste vriend en ik onze PADI hebben, zijn wij altijd erg (faal) angstig. Daardoor boeken we altijd een introductie duik. Toen ik dit deelde met Jackie voor onze duik gaf zij aan dat we het rustig aan zouden opbouwen, maar dat zij dacht dat het voor ons leuker/gaver zou zijn om toch wat verder te duiken. Ik voelde mij meteen op mijn gemak bij Jackie en daardoor durfde ik veel meer!! Jackie gaf mij vertrouwen en ik kon alles vragen. We hebben echt een fantastische duik gehad. Ik kon al mijn angsten en stress loslaten! Ik ben heel erg blij dat ik met Jackie gedoken heb en ik zou iedereen aanraden om met Jackie te duiken!! Ze is te gek! Floris van der blomTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ik heb met kerst gedoken met Jacky. Het was ontzettend fijn en ze stelde mij erg op me gemak. Michael PolicicchioTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife and I had a week of diving with Jackie in December. We arranged 3 days of diving for us and snorkeling fun with the kids. Having not done a lot of shore diving previously, we were impressed at how close she got us to the sites with little hassle for us. She took care of everything for us allowing us to relax and enjoy the week. It was the little touches that set her apart. She took the time and effort to figure out things that would matter to our kids, from the pigs to driftwood painting. She brought Gingerbread cookies for the kids and taught them about the Dutch holidays. She also took the time to film the kids snorkeling so we'll have those memories saved. We highly recommend her to a family looking to see some good dive sites and keep the kids entertained. Dennis De ReeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I spent the last two days whit about Jackie diving, visiting Klein Curaçao and Oostpunt. The time and attention you receive truly makes a difference compared to other operators. We were welcomed as a small group with a delicious smoothie, and then descended to two stunning destinations. If you ever go diving in Curaçao, make sure to get in touch with her! Henny HekmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jackie vind ik erg enthousiast en stelt je op je gemak. Verademing met haar te duiken. Ze vond zelfs mijn parel oorbel terug op de bodem van de zee.Load more
