We did 2 dives with Adrian and 4 dives with Fernando. I was newly certified and was so lucky to have Fernando teach me so much. He was terrific. The diving is out of this world with wall reefs and visibility over 100 ft. We will certainly be back.

Was in Curacao off a cruise ship from 7:00am to 3:00pm. Arranged a private dive with Epsilon. I opted for a one tank dive due to the time limitation. Yeitson was very accommodating and professional. The dive experience was excellent. They picked me up near the port terminal and dropped me back off in plenty of time.We did a shore dive. Parked about 20 yards from the shore near Tug Boat Beach. Under the dock was a 40′ chain about 5″ in diameter to descend about 40′ to a salvage ship. Continued to a wall and down about 50′ to a shuttled tug boat. The visibility was crystal clear about 100′. The water temperature was about 85 degrees. Saw a variety of fish. Great dive. Highly recommend them and will use them again.
