Jan Thiel Dive Op

[mtlscubadude]

Hello. I have an apartment in the Jan Thiel area booked in February. Looking for a good dive shop. Fundiving Curacao is a short walk, so is Dive Center Scuba Do. Any recommendations? Dive Charter Curacao is also not far away.
Thanks

Full disclosure…Dive Charter Curacao is strictly a boat dive operation.

What is your plan for diving, dive, dive, dive, or dive and chill. All shore, 1/2 and 1/2 or all boat?
If all shore, and dive dive dive and you need gear, I would rent that local, then get tanks at the beach operators on site or nearest one. I did not do any boat dives on Curacao so can't speak to them. All the fills we got from various places were good, 2900 to 3100. We would often get tanks at the onsite shop in the morning hit a site without a shop in then hit a second site with tanks. Repeat in the afternoon. Worked out well

Thanks for the responses. I guess a bit more info from me would be helpful.
I won't be bringing gear, need to rent....
I will be on my own, wife doesn't dive....
So, tagging along with other groups will be necessary.
My plan is to dive most mornings, but not every one. We will be there for about 2 weeks.
Wanted to know if there's any opinions on the shops in that area. Is Fundiving Curacao ok?
Dive Charter sounds like a good group, going to less visited sites.

For the boat dives definitely divecharter. For shore diving trips dive bus could be good (but no personal experience). Dive bus also uses divecharter for their boat dives. So if you want everything in one hand (se rental gear etc) thats an option to. I have good experience with rebeldiving as well. She also does her boat dives with dive charter .
