We are about more than diving.
Our founder, Bas Noij, together with Jonathan Oosterhof and Jan van Nieuwamerongen, began the journey with a vision: to create the best diving experiences on Bonaire, in a true “VIP style”. To bring that vision to life, they invested in top-quality equipment, explored the island's best dive sites, and built a team dedicated to personal attention and outstanding service.
What connects us is our unconditional love for life underneath the surface, as well as our commitment to protect it for future generations.
That’s why sustainability is integrated in everything we do. We’re using solar energy to power the dive center’s operations, reduce waste and increase recycling, help staff and guests to make eco-conscious choices, and educate divers on how to dive responsibly, to name a few examples.
We believe every dive is an opportunity to make a positive impact. Because the best diving experiences are the ones that we can continue to share with generations after us.
We are proud to be an award-winning dive center dedicated to exceptional experiences and marine conservation.
VIP Diving Bonaire is proud to be the only 5 Star Blue Destination Dive Center, underscoring our commitment to preserving Bonaire’s marine environment and supporting our community.
Recently awarded PADI’s prestigious 2025 'Best Overall' Dive Center for the Caribbean & Atlantic, we’re equally proud to have received awards for 'Best Quality of Rental Gear,' 'Best Quality of Facilities,' 'Best Attention to Safety,' and 'Best Quality of Staff.'
With Traveler’s Choice Awards on TripAdvisor and our status as a PADI Five Star IDC Resort, we offer expertise, safety, and unforgettable experiences.
