Great Dive Operation in Bonaire
Road55930128487, 14-11-2022
My husband found this dive experience after much research. It had great reviews so we booked it. We were on a cruise ship and Jan picked us up right outside the cruise terminal. After a short trip to the dive shop for some paperwork we were off to the dive sites. I had never done shore diving but Jan explained how everything worked and soon we were in the water. We did the Invisibles and Salt Pier. Both dives were briefed well and he gave us a list of things we might see. Luck favored us and we saw them all-turtles, eel, eagle ray, barracuda, puffer, drum fish, trunk fish, and an abundance of schools and other fish along with a variety of coral and sponge. Jan checked on us consistently and did a great job as our dive guide.
The shop itself is immaculate and one of the best I have been in. They provided lockers to keep our valuables safe, towels and even were given coffee on our arrival. From start to finish everything was communicated well and went smooth.
If you want to dive Bonaire I HIGHLY recommend this dive shop.

Best diving ever ... very close to cruise ship terminal

I fully recommend VIP Diving if you are going scuba diving in Bonaire. I did two amazing shore dives in Bonaire with VIP Diving. Friendly and helpful dive shop staff. Their dive shop is just a few short blocks from the cruise ship terminal. The dive guide was very professional and knowledgeable. Unbelievable visibility and sea life... including a Spotted Eagle Ray, a Seahorse, and an Octopus. Best dives I have ever done.
Dive Master Michelle Sullivan is the BEST

For a great dive experience in Bonaire, ask for Dive Master Michelle Sullivan of VIP Diving.
This was my first shore dive which in many ways, was better than some of the boat dives I've done in the Caribbean. The approach is more relaxed and easier paced than a dive off a dive boat where a boatload of divers all have to get ready at one time, get in the water and group together for the dive.
My dive was just a "group" of three persons, (and Michelle Sullivan) where we all jumped into the VIP dive truck and drove to the beach. At our own pace, we suited up our dive equipment (the other two brought their own vest and regulators, their choice) but mine were included in the price of the dive.
I'm an older diver in my 70's, most of my diving experience is on cruise excursions where the dive masters have set up my tank, vest and regulators. Michelle Sullivan was so good about helping me with my equipment setup. Sometimes I'm a bit embarrassed among the younger divers due to my lack of mobiiity BUT Michelle Sullivan was so helpful in every way and put me at ease.
After assisting me walking into the water and putting on my fins (because my knees don't bend anymore.) She actually was a unique dive experience in that while she ALWAYS was concerned for our safety, she also respected that we were all certified scuba divers and allowed us freedom in where we wanted to dive, explore and what we wanted to see. I'm sure we all have run into dive masters that act like a drill sergeant and I can assure you Michelle Sullivan is not like that. Just the opposite.
Dive Master Michelle Sullivan also really knows her stuff and was very familiar with the interesting coral and fauna in the area.
Michelle Sullivan led us to the largest sea horse I have ever seen as well as a huge moray eel, a sea turtle, groupers, needle fish, rock fish, lionfish, schools of colorful fish many, many more wildlife that I don't have the experience to identify. Plus, acres and acres of colorful coral and other sea plants and sea life.
I have to say it was one of the most enjoyable dives of my life and I highly recommend it for both more experienced divers than me but especially for a diver my age. I'm sure my dive was tons more enjoyable (and even doable) because of Dive Master Michelle Sullivan.
If you are a scuba diver going to Bonaire, do yourself a huge favor and take a dive with VIP Diving with Dive Master Michelle Sullivan. It will be an unforgettable dive experience.

Great divemaster and amazing dives! Look no further...

Michelle was an amazing divemaster! My husband and I along with another couple did two shore dives. I had not been diving is a long time and Michelle was a huge help. She checked on me throughout both dives. Her knowledge of scuba diving and the local dive spots was incredible. VIP has excellent equipment and everyone was so friendly. We were able to arrange our dives from home prior to leaving on our cruise. The communication was excellent.
We had two incredible dives and can't wait to go again!
