Our Trip
We're going back to Bonaire! For a while I kept hearing the same thing from divers all over the world: "You have to go to Bonaire." Well I finally did, and it clicked why. Bonaire isn't just a great place to dive...it's an island built for divers. Everything is designed around easy access to the ocean and a deep respect for the reef. All of the license plates on the cars even say "Divers Paradise."
This trip is for brand new divers to learn in a safe and supportive environment. Learning to scuba dive can seem intimidating at first, but you'll be surrounded by a community who will encourage you and make sure you have everything you need to succeed! My last beginners group to Bonaire had a blast.
You'll be completing your PADI Open Water Certification. The course is three days of learning new skills and diving the beautiful turquoise waters of the Caribbean. By the end of the course you can use the certification to dive anywhere in the world. I remember my certification course so vividly, it was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. It's evolved the way I understand my connection to the earth and all the people in it.
We'll be staying at a newly renovated beachfront all-inclusive oasis. All meals & drinks for the week are included in your premium package. Once we arrive we can simply settle in and enjoy. The resort is designed to make diving effortless with their home dive shop, Toucan Diving Bonaire, who I had an excellent experience with on my last beginners trip.
