Six days. Two guided sessions, four dives. One special experience. Unlimited tanks, gear, and transport. The week, done properly.
Two guided sessions spread across the week: four dives total, two per session with a surface interval on the beach between them.
Nick or Stephan guides both. Schedule them when you want. One special experience on top. Night Dive, Sunrise, East Coast, or Ostracods. We look at the conditions and the lunar calendar when you arrive and tell you what is worth booking that week. The rest is unlimited. Tanks, gear, and transport for the full six days. Return a cylinder empty, collect it full the next morning.
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.
