Drive & Dive: Experience the Best of Curacao
Picture yourself sinking below the surface of the Caribbean this summer on an epic shore diving trip – and now let us help make this dream a reality!
Hurricane Season in the Caribbean is generally 1 June – 30 November. But do you want to hear a secret? Curacao lies outside the hurricane belt – so it’s actually the perfect time of year for a dive trip to the Southern Caribbean! Good friends don’t keep secrets though, so be sure to tell your dive buddies and plan an adventure full of #seriouslyfundiving
We won’t lie – temperatures soar through the summer and fall. But to be honest – you’re here for diving, so just get back in the ocean when you get too warm! And 90% of divers leave their wetsuits at home between August and November, so treat yourself to a new sustainable rashie, some reef-freindly defog, and jump on in.
At The Dive Bus, we specialize in shore diving rather than boat diving, and Curacao is one of the best shore diving locations in the world. Whether you want to join a group of guided divers or explore on your own schedule, we have the perfect drive and dive package for you!
We partner with National, so you can collect and return your rental vehicle at the airport. This convenient option saves time and money, so you can make the most of your Curacao dive vacation. With a growing number of delicious restaurants, cultural attractions, and all the insanely photogenic beaches in Curacao, you will be glad to have a vehicle for island exploration. Because as much as you might want to, you cannot be underwater 100% of the time!
Now that you’re conviced a rental car will add to your holiday fun, let’s take a look at your diving options:
Our guided dive packages include a 2 tank guided dive at our house reef followed by 2 tank bus trips to other shore diving sites for as many days as you’d like to dive. We take a maximum of 8 certified divers per instructor or divemaster on guided dives to ensure your safety and enjoyment! Leave the logistics and critter spotting to our professionals, so you can relax and enjoy being underwater with your dive buddy. We also bring surface interval snacks on the bus, because diving makes you hungry!
Prefer to head out on your own time with just your buddies? Our indie dive packages include a 1 tank guided orientation dive at our house reef, followed by unlimited air or nitrox for however many days you wish to dive. Switch out your tanks at any time during our opening hours and plan your own holiday. Our crew is more than happy to share their recommendations on where to go and what you might find there! You can also pick up a dive map or dive guide book in The Dive Bus retail shop. Just don’t forget to pack your own snacks 😉
Or plan a combination – a few days of guided dives followed by exploration on your own – like recent diver Katherine! Check out her Trip Advisor review about Drive & Dive at The Dive Bus:
“We did a dive and drive package with them and started with several days of guided dives, then rented some tanks and went out on our own. I’m glad we started with guided dives – the guides know the reefs really well and showed us some great sites.”
Are you sold, ready to book your flights and come on down? We have a great deal for anyone who books by the end of June 2026 for travel now – 15 November 2026.
Get your first day free when you select a 5 day indie or guided dive and 7 day vehicle rental package for at least 2 divers. Want to stay longer or dive more? No problem – these are the minimums, so your first day is still free if you want to dive more days and/or keep the rental car longer.
Pro Tip: Get more out of your dive trip by earning your PADI Advanced Open Water or PADI Specialty Certifications. Our friendly crew of PADI Pro’s are ready to plan the best 5+ days of diving for you – all with the perfect mix of learning and fun.
