We did two days of diving with Go West in March 2024: one day of shore diving at the house reef (without a guide) and one day of boat diving at the Mushroom Forest and Miguel's Reef (with a guide). Most of our group were recently certified, making our first ocean dives. The staff was very helpful at every step of the process: renting and selecting gear, giving us pointers for the shore dive, leading us through the boat dives, helping (especially the kids) with loading and unloading all of our equipment from the boat, etc.
Our guide on the boat dives was very experienced, and he made the dives comfortable and fun for the kids and adults (beginners and experienced divers alike). The dives themselves were stunning--beautiful coral, colorful fish, and everything you'd imagine when diving in Curacao.
Go West might be a bit out of the way for some visitors staying farther south on the island, but in our experience, the drive was worth it. As an added bonus, the neighboring beach is lovely--small but not crowded, good shade, and a nice restaurant and bar right off the beach.
