First time in Aruba, I was very nervous about diving, since I haven't dove in 13 years. So I contacted Aqua Windies about a refresher course. They were extremely friendly! Nora, one of the Dive Masters, was excellent! Not once did she make me feel uncomfortable. After the refresher course we went diving at one of their local sites.
If you haven't dove in a while or even if your an expert, Aqua Windies should be on the very top of your Aruba schedule. You got to check out their site because they offer so much more than diving!
Learn to Scuba was great! Iris was very patient and understanding. Excellent people and experience! Highly recommend
Great and friendly staff! Great to get your certs and for diving trips! If you love to dive be sure to visit them!
Great pool for swimming classes,competition swimming and aqua aerobics. Also diving lessons
It is a good place for diploma lessons my kids go to swimming lessons there and they like their theachers and i personally also like them because they are kind dont get mad that easy and would do whatever they can for your daughter/son to pass their diploma
Very professional, helpful and kind crew.
We took the padi open water course and we had a great first dive experience.
Windie is super responsive and accommodating, and her crew is patient, friendly, and has the high ethical and safety standards I look for in a dive shop. Scuba diving can be dangerous and equipment matters - the cheapest solution is almost never the right choice and I'm happy to pay a tiny bit more if it means my gear will function and the divemasters are pros. I literally saw another dive company leave someone behind at a dive site today. Over the past week I saw other tour guides and dive instructors harrass and torture sea life, setting a terrible example for their guests. If you love to dive and have a soul, do your research. I will def dive again with Aqua Windie's.
Definitely in to make the most money out of divers. Stay away from them! They turned away four of us because they couldn't match a smaller shop prices. Go to Palm divers instead. Also quite bad attitude if confronted with other shops prices. THEY ARE NOT A SMALL SHOP AS THEY SAY
Here you can get your diving degree, get swimming lessons and/or Just swim in a large pool
Two pools, exercising, swimming lessons, scuba lessons, snorkeling and diving trips, friendly staff, great pricing.
Can improve just a little more.
Perfect, Perfect, perfect!. Widie & her crew were amazing. My son and I had never been diving before and came for our open water certification. The staff and facilities were way above par, the directions were direct, and easy to follow, and the support was exactly what we needed. We felt confident the entire time with Ilja as our instructor. Our boat captain was superb and awesome to hang with. If you are looking for a dive shop in Aruba, this is the one you want to go with. If we ever get back to Aruba again, we will be going back to Windie. Thank you!
Great dive and instruction with Sjuart , Charlie and, of course, Windie. It was my 13 year olds first dive and everybody was wonderful and he had a great time. We will be back for sure!
The staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable and do everything in their power to make sure you have a good dive. The dive master to customer ratio is by far better than any of the commercial dive shops on the island. I have been diving there for years and would never go with another shop.
This is the best shop ever.I was going to give up on myself. and because of Manon and Roshendra not giving up on me, I had a wonderful dive vacation in Aruba. Diving with my son and having amazing adventures under the sea was our goal was.goal achieved.
Diving and Swimming certifications here! If you're new or old to the island, this place is a must if you want your certifications. Up to date diving equipment, very nice price and a staff that treats you like family.
I have NEVER left a review before but our two weeks of awesome diving with the staff at Aqua Windies spurred me to leave a review on their behalf!
First and foremost, a huge thank you to Manon and Windie for all they did to accommodate our groups availability and experience levels. Manon was a fantastic and thorough instructor for my wife and I's OW certification. She did a wonderful job planning the dives so as no experience level was without a fun challenge.
A big thank you to Schewhart and his wealth of information about the ocean, an experienced captain who makes you feel right at home on the open water. Another big thank you to Rien for taking us lionfish hunting and expanding our knowledge of pole spear fishing. If you have a passion for fishing and protecting the local reefs, ask about a lionfish expedition!
I highly recommend Aqua Windies for the beginner or advanced diver, they accommodate to your experience level, they have well maintained equipment, their price is very fair, and the owners and staff will be treating you like family before your week is over.
Thank you so much to our new friends at Aqua Windies for making our first dive trip in Aruba such a stellar experience, until next we meet!
