Give it a try or get your PADI Open Water certification
PADI Open Water

Why would you want to get your diving certification? The PADI Open Water Diver certification is the first step and proves that you are able to dive safely. For example, you’ll need this certification if you want to rent equipment or have a dive tank filled while on vacation. Keep in mind that you’re never allowed to dive alone — you must always dive with a buddy. If both you and your buddy have this first certification, you are permitted to dive together without professional supervision to a depth of 18 meters. The PADI Open Water Diver certification is recognized worldwide. Discover Bonaire’s fascinating underwater world together with the Dive Friends team!
