About Us
Go West Diving is well recognized as one of Curacao’s premier PADI 5 Star Dive Centers
Go West…. To The Best!
Go West Diving has been independently owned and operated by Louis Lopez Ramirez since the early 2000’s.
You won’t see our affable managing director Louis Lopez Ramirez out on the dive boats, but you’ll see his influence throughout the operation:
- In how we all strive to offer outstanding customer service and personal attention to our guests
- In our mission to fully understand your individual expectations for your diving holiday
- In how we, as divers ourselves, enjoy nothing more than sharing our knowledge, skills and love of diving with our enthusiast guests
At Go West Diving, you will experience not only a professionally well-organized operation, but one that is friendly and family oriented as well.
Your safety may be our number one concern, but we also know how to have fun – and can’t wait to bring you along for the ride!
That’s why we say: Go West…. To The Best!
