The Decompression Diving Package combines three courses into a single progression: Enriched Air Nitrox, Deep Diving, and Decompression Diving.

Each builds directly on the previous. Nitrox extends your no-decompression limits. Deep Diving takes you to 40 metres and teaches gas management at depth. Decompression Diving adds planned decompression stops: dives that require specific ascent protocols. Seven training dives in total, sequenced so each set of skills is in place before the next course begins. An SSI recreational pathway and a serious look at whether technical diving is where you want to go.

Why Bonaire

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.

What You'll Do

Step by step training designed to build real confidence underwater.

Bonaire is where
you learn to dive.

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.
