Learn to Dive

Bonaire is called divers paradise. With its crystal-clear waters, vibrant coral reefs, and a diverse array of marine life it is the the place to learn how to dive.

With years of experience in multiple places in the world and 100’s of students taught, we can give you the experience you want. With private courses we will tailor your course the way you want it. From your favorite beach, or your private holiday home, we can teach you anywhere!

PADI Discover Scuba Diving Experience

The PADI Discover Scuba Diving program is designed for uncertified people who don’t have the time, are not sure if they like diving enough to commit, or just want to experience diving once. In a half day program we will give you a short theory session, fit you into dive gear, and take you underwater. After a couple of exercises in shallow water to make you feel more comfortable, we will go out to the reef to enjoy the wonders the underwater world of Bonaire has to offer.

PADI Open Water Diver Course

Doing the PADI Open Water Diver Course opens up your world to diving. After doing this course you will be certified to go diving with a buddy to a maximum depth of 18 meters / 60 feet. The course can be completely tailored to your preferences and schedule, but is usually done in 2 or 3 days. It can be run from your holiday home, or any other location.

The course consists of three segments. Theory, confined water sessions and four open water dives. Theory can be done trough eLearning, but can also be done by book and in person. With Mar & C, we usually conduct the confined water sessions in the shallow parts of the water around Bonaire. Giving you more experience in the real diving environment, and the chance to already get to meet the underwater life!

After you did your confined water sessions, we go out for four open water dives, where you apply the skills you learned in the confined water.
