Six days. Two SSI specialty certifications. One guided session, two dives. Unlimited tanks, gear, and transport. Leave with more than you arrived with.
Two SSI specialty courses across six days.
Choose two from Night and Limited Visibility, Deep Diving, Navigation, and Nitrox. Theory, training dives, certification: all included. Your instructor is in the water with you throughout. One guided leisure session on top: two dives with Nick or Stephan, no training agenda. Just good diving on a site picked for the conditions that day. Unlimited tanks and complete gear for the full week. Transport to every site. Between courses and sessions, the reef is yours.
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 experience needed. Here's what applies.
No prior diving background needed. Basic swimming ability and reasonable health required. Minimum age 10.
