Although I am a novice diver, JADS has spoiled me for any other dive shop. I don't think any others can compare to the individualized service JP, the owner, has made a standard for all of his staff. They are all friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable, not only about the intricacies of SCUBA, but about the best dive sites in... more

As a reef enthusiast, one of my goals for my vacation to Aruba was to try diving. My girlfriend and I did lots of research and decided on JADS. We visited the shop earlier in our vacation and rented some snorkeling gear to check the place out. We found the crew at JADS to all be very professional, knowledgeable and... more

OK, I have to be honest, I have little to compare. I copleted my open water certification there and, based on great reviews here, we selected JADS to do our training. JP was highly recommended and didn't just live up to his reputation - he blew it away. We were told he favored small groups. I was nervous about this.... more

Our trip to Aruba was to start with me getting Open Water Certified. We did alot of research before we left and decided on JADS Dive Center. We arrived on day 1 of our trip and immediately knew we were in good hands. I was pretty nervous about the whole process until JP put me the hands of Walter. Walter... more

This was my 3rd trip to Aruba and my first time to use JADS on Baby Beach for scuba diving. Either by phone or by e-mail, JP answered all my questions. He talked me into getting my Advanced Certification, and I'm so glad I took his advice. Everyone was wonderful, helpful and friendly. If you are wanting a personal, one-on-one... more

We went down to see baby beach and around 510pm came across JADS and they were closing and we were just inquiring about renting snorkel gear. JP was more than helpful and willing to open the store back up. We had thought about trying scuba diving and after talking with JP we decided to book a dive for the next... more

We just returned from a wonderful time in Aruba. The original dive shop we contracted with was NOT what we were expecting so we went hunting. We were very lucky to come across JADS Scuba. JADS is on the southern tip of the island away from the cruise ships and tourist traps. The owner, JP, is a great guy and... more

I had the opportunity to visit and dive with several dive shops in Aruba. One stood out from the others, JADS Dive Center at Baby Beach. JADS is a PADI dive shop and is one of the best shops I have visited both in the US and abroad. Upon arriving, I met with Jean-Pierre. JP, as he likes to be... more

I would recommend Jads Dive Center to anybody. I've done about 80 dives with them. They are very responsible/safe, maintain a low instructor/staff to diver ratio. They don't do big group dives, so if you just started you'll feel more comfortable in a small group. I've done a lot of dives there so I know how they run their business.... more
