Goby Divers and Watersports N.V.

Goby Divers is situated in Piscadera, conveniently located within the Curacao Marriott Beach Resort. Since its establishment in 2021, the centre has become a versatile hub for both local shore divers and those looking to access deeper sites via boat.

The centre operates with a focus on providing a non-congested diving experience, catering to a wide spectrum of divers. From those taking their first breaths underwater to technical divers planning complex Trimix profiles, the facilities are geared towards precision and professional service.

The team, including Andhiela, Ima, and Bernardo, is known for a professional and welcoming approach. They manage a diverse range of diver needs, ensuring that instruction is tailored to the individual's skill level and goals.

Communication is straightforward for international visitors, as the instructors speak English, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, and Papiamento. This multilingual capability ensures that training and briefing details are clearly understood by a global clientele.

The training programme is extensive, covering all major certification levels through PADI, SSI, and IANTD. Beginners can start with Discover Scuba Diving or the Open Water Diver course, while experienced divers can progress through Advanced Open Water, Rescue Diver, and Divemaster.

For those looking to specialise, the centre offers a deep catalogue of specialties including Deep Diver, Wreck Diver, Night Diver, and Peak Performance Buoyancy. They also provide niche training such as Underwater Naturalist and Underwater Navigator.

Technical diving is a core strength here. The centre provides advanced training for those moving into the technical realm, including Side Mount, Tec Side Mount Diver, Advanced Nitrox, and Normoxic Trimix courses, including Normoxic Trimix Plus.

The centre operates its own vessel, The Blue Pearl, a 30-foot island-hopper. This boat is capable of carrying up to 12 divers, allowing for small groups and a more personalised feel on the water.

Onboard, you will find snacks and selected soft drinks to keep you refreshed between dives. The Blue Pearl is used to access various dive sites that are not reachable from the shore, including night dive locations.

Full equipment rental is available for those not travelling with their own kit. The centre maintains its inventory with meticulous service and care, ensuring that regulators, BCDs, and other essential components are in reliable condition.

For those needing specific items, wetsuit rental is also provided. The facility is designed to support both boat-based and shore-based diving, providing a solid base for your daily excursions.
