Three days. One guided session, two dives. Unlimited tanks, gear, and transport included. You run the rest.
Pick up your gear on day one.
Your guided session runs whenever it fits: that morning, the next day, whenever you want. Two dives back to back with Nick or Stephan, surface interval on the beach between them. After that, the tanks are yours. Full cylinder, complete gear, transport to any site on the leeward coast. Return it empty, collect it full the next morning. No check-in, no agenda, no one waiting for you. Three days on Bonaire works. One guided morning to learn the reef, two more days to go back on your own terms.
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.
