Specialties of the Month: October 2024

1 – Shore Diver Specialty

Your first time visiting Bonaire, the shore dive capital of the world, and not certain how to navigate, enter and exit the right way? Getting a bit more senior and in need of better ways to enter and exit without hurting yourself? The answer is the shore dive specialty

 

Shore diving has its own challenges and rewards compared to boat diving. In this course, we teach you how to shore dive safely and enjoyably. You’ll learn how to plan your dives, choose the best entry and exit points, navigate underwater, and deal with any issues that may arise.

  • Number of Dives: 2
  • Approximate Time: 1 day
  • Prerequisites: Open Water Certification or Junior Open Water Certification

15% discount when signing up with 2 or more divers.

Free copy of “Bonaire dive guide” Dutch or English.

2 – Peak Performance Buoyancy Specialty

Unless you are one of the rare people who could float like a genie in their Open Water Course, you should take the Peak Performance Buoyancy specialty course.

 

The six mayor reasons are:

  1. Dive with less weight.
  2. Reduce air consumption and stay longer underwater.
  3. Feel more relaxed underwater.
  4. Better marine life encounters.
  5. Poor buoyancy control is a top cause of diver injuries.
  6. Peak Performance Buoyancy is (arguably) one of the most important conservation courses for divers.

If you are planning to shoot underwater videos or photos, do yourself and the underwater life a favor and sign up for this course. You wouldn’t be the first who crashes into corals while wanting to take the perfect shot of that tucked away seahorse or cleaner shrimp. Or are you thinking of going wreck or cave diving? Without perfect buoyancy you will cause silt disturbance and collisions with wreck or cave structures with a possibility of getting disorientated or sustaining injuries.

  • Minimum Age: 10
  • Number of Dives: 2
  • Approximate Time: 1 day
  • Prerequisites: Open Water Certification or Junior Open Water Certification

Specialty of the month offer:

15% discount when signing up with 2 or more divers.

10% discount at our retail shops on clips, hooks and retractors to assure all your hoses and accessories for better streamlining while diving. The discount voucher will be handed out at the start of the course.

 

Discounts apply on reservations made and paid in the month October 2024, the course can be in the following months but no later than december 2025.

3 – Underwater Navigator Specialty

Are you always wondering how your dive guide finds their way back to the starting point, sometimes even without a compass? Has it been a while since you used a compass, or you never really got the hang of it in the first place? Do you and your buddy want to enjoy Bonaire, the diver’s paradise, by yourselves but aren’t confident enough do dive without a guide to find your way back to shore? The Underwater Navigator Specialty course is just what you need.

 

The Underwater Navigator Specialty course fine-tunes your observation skills and teaches you to find your way underwater. You will discover different ways to navigate underwater, such as with a compass and by looking at the environment. The aim is to make you more confident when diving, even when visibility is not that good, so that you can always find your way back.
