Single-Day Experience

1 classroom session · 2 guided dives

Love diving and curious to understand the reef on a deeper level? Join an interactive classroom session followed by two guided dives. You'll learn in depth about the fascinating behaviour of fish, the role of corals, the importance of reefs, and put it straight to the test underwater.

Throughout the day there's plenty of room to ask questions, share observations, and discuss the marine life you encounter. You'll come away with a deeper understanding of the underwater world — and a whole new appreciation for it.

Three-Day Deep Dive

3 classroom sessions · 6 guided dives

Go deeper into nature and science across three themes: Reef Ecology, Coral Biology (plus a crash course in coral ID), and Marine Animal Behaviour — hunting styles, why fish school, and what their traits reveal. Each day: one classroom session, two guided dives, and time to connect theory to what you've just seen.

Each day includes a one-hour classroom session and two guided dives, with plenty of time for Q&A so you can connect what you've learned to what you've just seen underwater.

Five-Day Immersive Program

4 classroom session · 8 guided dives · 1 full field day

The most complete course there is. Four days of classroom sessions paired with two guided dives each — covering reef ecology, coral biology, ocean chemistry, and reef-fish behaviour.

On day three, we step beyond the reef for a full day in the field. On a guided tour around Bonaire in a comfortable pickup truck (snacks and drinks included), you'll discover the island's diverse coastal ecosystems. Along the way we'll go bird watching — spotting migratory shore and seabirds such as flamingos and ospreys — and explore the unique world of the salt pans and mangroves.

Want to experience the reef after dark? Add the optional Nocturnal Reef Adventure night dive for $95 per person.
