EXCELLENT Based on 65 reviews Posted on Brian TannerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife and I have been diving for 20 years, and recently encouraged our teenagers to get certified. The problem was, their first few dives (Cozumel) were not great, they were just ok. We scheduled a dive with our hotel dive shop in Curacao - and again - just an ok dive. Not great. I was determined to ensure they had a great dive so they could understand why my wife and I are so excited about diving. We got in touch with Jackie, and she did a terrific job. She helped us plan 2 dives that were at the right difficulty, had the right characteristics, and allowed for us to go at our own pace. We had a private day of diving, with Jackie and her team ensuring we always felt comfortable and supported. The kids, my wife, and I all agreed they were the best dives we've done in years. Thank you Jackie!Posted on Kerry KeysTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We loved diving with Jackie! We got her number, messaged her with our interest and heard back the next day! She was super easy to talk to and to plan our trips. My husband and I hadn’t been diving in so long and Jackie’s confidence was very helpful. We ended up doing a refresher with her - which was very painless and doing an additional dive day in Westpunt. She took us to amazing sites, pointed out interesting things, and especially helped us look for our bucketlist items! She was super accommodating to my husband not wanting to go to deep and still found us great sites. She was also the best host driving us around, explaining Curacao and always gave the best smoothies and candies!!! She’s the bomb - I would recommend her to any group wanting a great experience that was extremely affordable and easy!!! Cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed Jackie - a gem of a human! Looking forward to next time!Posted on Kirsten JohnsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My son who is 17 and I did 6 dives with Jackie during our stay in Curacao. I only have excellent things to say and highly recommend Jackie to anyone who is looking for a unique, bespoke experience. Jackie organized everything - what I didn't know is that she can organize dinner reservations and tours outside of diving. We did 4 day dives and 2 night dives that were AMAZING. You MUST do night dives with her. The equipment was top of the line and worked well. She planned each day including snacks, smoothies and lunch in between. She is fun and knows the diving areas and also the local people well. My son had a small emergency while diving and Jackie was super calm and managed the situation expertly. Overall we felt well cared for and enjoyed our experience. I would definitely go back and do it again.Posted on Pamela WalshTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you want an incredible personalized diving experience with a knowledgeable Master Diver , then Jackie’s Fine Diving is where you want to be ! Ron was a patient teacher , and helped my friend with her very first dive feel confident . We both felt very safe and well taken care of , which is so important. The videos and pictures Ron took of our 2 dives were incredible. Ron knows where to find octopus and where the best coral and abundant fish are ! Definitely would book with Jackie’s Fine Diving again ! All around great experience!Posted on ju IngenhagTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

We would love to come back diving with hrer - maybe next time 😇😌Posted on Mark In RehobothTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We did six dives with Jackie over a week. She was very accommodating to our requests. Friends we were with only wanted to snorkel while we were diving and she found places where the diving and snorkeling was good and there were chairs and shade for our friends. Jackie is very professional and put us at ease from the beginning. And she’s a lot of fun! We are so happy that we used her for our Curaçao dive and we can’t wait to get back for more!Posted on Dan HaulmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife and I had a fabulous introductory dive with Jackie. She made us feel comfortable and relaxed. It was a fun dive with a memorable experience where we felt safe and cared for throughout the entire dive. We met at her house for tea and a practical lesson before heading out to the beach and the dive experience. I would definitely recommend diving with Jackie.Posted on Bindia WijesekeraTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. On our recent trip to Curacao, we wanted to try Scuba Diving but felt a bit intimidated by the many options of businesses who offer training and dive sessions. We didn’t know who to trust and what kind of experience we were signing up for. Luckily we found Jackie. Jackie is someone you immediately feel comfortable around and trust, which is important because exploring the ocean can be quite intimidating. Can honestly say, I would not have wanted our first dive to be with anyone else. Jackie is extremely experienced and that shows in her calm demeanour, she explains everything really well and makes you feel confident in your own abilities. We also did a private session with her, making it easy to flex for our needs. Thank you Jackie for a great first dive experience! We’ll catch you again somewhere in the open waters. 👌🏽👎🏽🤙🏽Posted on Wendy PelletierTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We just finished a girls trip to Curaçao diving. I cannot say enough good about our experience with Jackie. Every day felt like a new adventure! We spent four days with Jackie and Daniella and it was the BEST dive trip I have had so far. We were able to experience multiple dive sites at different parts of the island, that we would never had seen without Jackie. If you are looking for VIP treatment Jackie’s Fine Diving is your place. We will be back! If I could give her ten stars I would.Posted on Bobby GillissenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jackie is amazing!!! I can’t even start to explain how awesome she was. There’s some amazing dive spots she took us and I would definitely recommend her. I love how personal it was. My wife was super scared and the first dive she took extra time with her and she ended up going for a second dive after the first. Well worth the money and time with Jackie!!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
