VIP Diving Bonaire

VIP Diving Bonaire tries to make a positive impact on sustainability on Bonaire Island, not only by making the best choices at our dive center that really make a difference but also by supporting local initiatives for nature conservation and sustainability.

They tailor the perfect dive trip for each visitor, introducing new divers to the wonders of the ocean and make diving as safe, convenient and fun as possible.

They only dive in small groups and introduce divers to sustainability, raising awareness of different ways they can be more responsible and go sustainable.
