We started Wanderlust in 2021 and moved here for good in 2023, with our daughter Mara. Bonaire is home now. The yellow stones and the salt are part of the school run.
What we do has stayed the same. Stephan is the only SSI Instructor Trainer on Bonaire — the highest teaching credential SSI issues. Linda is a certified Divemaster Instructor. Groups stay small. Four students max for an Open Water class, often one-on-one. We check conditions at sunrise and pick the site based on wind and visibility, not a calendar.

“I took a combined wreck & advanced wreck class with Stephan and had the privilege of being 1-on-1 with him. The instruction was excellent. It was a little challenging in a way that helped me learn better. Stephan is a friendly and super knowledgeable teacher. I’d recommend diving with this shop and hope to do so myself again in the future.”
“Was such an awesome experience, especially as a beginner. I felt safe, comfortable and the dives were just amazing. Big shout out to Stefan! Thank you for everything. If you are in Bonaire I can’t recommend this place enough!!”
“I have been coming to Bonaire for 30 years and diving with many operators over the years. Stefan and Wanderlust are the best I have ever encountered by far. Superb personalized service—perfectly tailored for your interests and needs — from beginner/recreational to technical. Great advice on dive sites and where to find the best critters away from the crowds. Some of the best destination service any where in the world. Thank you Wanderlust!”
Bonaire's only SSI Instructor Training Center. Stephan teaches every session. Maximum four candidates per cohort. Taught in English or Dutch.
I built this ITC because the ones I trained at felt rushed. Small cohorts. One trainer. No rotating staff.Stephan, Instructor Trainer
