Should you join the PADI Open Water Course?

Becoming a PADI Open Water Diver on Bonaire might be a dream you've held onto for a while! If you've never done a try dive, it’s natural to wonder what it’s like underwater. Many people ask themselves:

  • Heb ik wat er nodig is om de cursus te halen en duiker te worden?

  • Hoe werkt oorkompensatie?

  • Zal ik de onderwaterwereld leuk vinden?

  • Hoe zal ik reageren?

  • Welke vaardigheden moet ik oefenen?

Dus ja: je moet zeker meedoen aan de Open Water-cursus!

Thoughts of our certified PADI Open Water Divers

  • "Professionaliteit en bekwaamheid waren duidelijk merkbaar"

    “Recently, I completed my PADI Open Water course, and I can’t speak highly enough of Savannah Schultz as an instructor. From the very start, her professionalism and competence were evident, immediately putting me at ease. Savannah is not only highly skilled, but also incredibly patient and understanding. She took the time to explain everything thoroughly and was always willing to go over things again if needed."
    - Alexandra, September 2024"

  • "Scuba Elite one of the best Scuba experiences you can get!"

    "Scuba Elite one of the best Scuba experiences you can get! Now seriously, I went to the island of Bonaire with the thought of learning to scuba dive and get my PADI OW and see how it goes. Normally I don’t really like being in the water. I went to Scuba Elite and joined them in the classroom. They have a professional team of qualified(PADI) instructors and they explain everything very well. They teached me how to scuba dive and I got certificated. Also because of them, the cosines, hospitality, fun environment with a joke here and there and sometimes some encouragement made me also book mij AOW, nitrox and lion fish hunting speciality! They are good in what they do. "

  • "Scuba Elite is the best dive shop in Bonaire."

    "Scuba Elite is the best dive shop in Bonaire. Just returned from a week long trip. Dove with them almost every day of the trip, completing Open Water Certification dives, as well as a variety of specialty dives. Pascal, Melina and Niels are all excellent instructors/guides, as well as great people. Dive groups were kept reasonably sized (3-4 divers per dive) making for a very personal experience. This shop’s knowledge of diving as well as expertise of the island makes for an excellent service overall. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced diver looking for a great dive shop with wonderful people, this is the shop to dive through. If you are going to dive in Bonaire, use Scuba Elite. I am already planning a return visit within a year and I will definitely only be diving with Scuba Elite."

    "Scuba Elite is a warm, professional and beautiful place to learn how to scuba dive. Pascal's professional manner was very evident at the beginning of our conversations over email. He dotted every i and crossed all of his t's. I was very impressed when I arrived to my first day of class and I was the only student. I had an amazing experience with Pascal and I would highly recommend this dive shop!"
