Six days. Two guided sessions, four dives. One special experience. Two SSI specialty certifications. Unlimited tanks, gear, transport. Everything.
Two guided sessions, four dives, one special experience, two SSI specialty certifications, and unlimited tanks and gear for six days.
Transport to every site, included. We plan the week with you on day one. Which specialties, which special experience, when the guided sessions run. Everything gets a slot before your first tank goes down. Every day has something in it. Every day also has room to go diving on your own. Nothing is left on the table.
Most people who get certified at home spend their first real dive trip adjusting. Different visibility, colder water, unfamiliar conditions. On Bonaire, your training dives happen on the same reef you'll dive independently afterward. You get certified and comfortable in one trip. Nothing to re-learn the next time you come back.
Questions about your specific kit? Mention it when you fill in the dive plan form.
Wanderlust is run by Stephan and Linda. Not a franchise, not a large operation with rotating staff. The person who greets you on day one takes you into the water. Same face, start to finish.
Groups cap at four. Often smaller. Sometimes it is just you and an instructor. Your certification is processed the same day you complete your final training dive.
Wanderlust is the only SSI Instructor Training Center on Bonaire. We train instructors. That same bar applies to every course we teach.

No prior diving background needed. Basic swimming ability and reasonable health required. Minimum age 10.
