Description

Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

What you will visit:
PADI Dive School
This course is for non-certified divers. The PADI Dive School has experienced instructors who will present an outline of the course, screen an informative video, provide a demonstration and offer help during your basic scuba diving skills practice. Outfitted with all the necessary gear, you'll learn how to use your scuba equipment in shallow water right in front of the dive school. This is your chance to take the plunge!

Bonaire National Marine Park
As a result of diligent stewardship of its marine resources, which have been legally protected since 1979, Bonaire has been consistently ranked as the finest scuba diving and snorkeling destination in the Caribbean. This pristine, tropical paradise teems with colorful marine life, including myriad rainbow-hued fish (such as tangs, parrotfish, damsel fish, butterfly fish and angel fish), turtles, rays and the healthiest corals in the region.

What you will see along the way:
At shallow depths, you will still see a dazzling array of marine life. The crystalline waters teem with such specimens as bright stoplight parrot fish, neon-colored wrasses and graceful angel fish. Keep a lookout for octopuses, eels, snails, shrimp and many other denizens of the deep.
