My girlfriend, father, and I just completed our open water certifications with VIP Divers. My father had been certified 40 years ago, but hadn't been diving seriously for over 25 years. My girlfriend and I have spent weeks doing DSD dives on Curacao, St. Kitts, and Grand Cayman over the last few years but had never taken the time for... More

We arrived on Bonaire on April 24th on a cruise ship. Bas and Bob met me right outside the gate with a friendly smile which never died throughout the day. VIP promised 4 divers or less on their trips and today I was the only diver. I was diving with Bob as Bas took two discover divers with him. Bob... More

This was the first time doing scuba for my wife and me. Bas was amazing in his knowledge and experience and made this a must do for everyone. Don't book through the cruise ships scuba excursions. Book directly with VIP for small groups(4 at the most compared to 12 or more with cruise ship excursions), shore diving to keep first... More

My husband and I dove with Bas on the South Side and at the Salt Pier. It had been awhile since I was diving and since Bonaire is known for do it yourself diving freedom, we booked with VIP so I could ease into it and feel comfortable. Our request was to see larger marine life and although we knew... More

Just back from a family dive trip to Bonaire. Been to Bonaire many times but those pesky Seahorses have always alluded us. Bring on Bas and Bob (Seahorse Whisperer) from VIP diving and you'll think you're in Mustang country. Seriously though, this is a top notch outfit who's priorities are your wellbeing and providing professional dive services. From the outstanding... More

We had a great time last week diving with VIP. We did shore diving. The number of fish was amazing! The dive equipment was nice and they were very safe. The lunch and island tour were a bonus. They never take out more than 4 people. We would love to go and spend a week diving with them. The reefs... More

My wife and I dove with VIP diving while visiting on the Holland America Westerdam. Small group dives, 4 tops! This allowed for very comfortable enjoyable dives. Our dive master Bob was great and the island tour was a bonus. On the day we visited there was unusually rainy gloomy weather. Bob worked hard to keep us warm and taken... More

My buddy and I hooked up with VIPdiving on the day our cruise ship was in port. Our divemaster, Bob van Elsakker, met us at the dock and after giving us a description of what to expect and cost, he drove us to the dive shop. The dive shop is clean and well organized and the equipment is in great... More

I had a good feeling about VIP even before diving with them. Bas Noij was so quick and thorough about answering my many email questions and accommodating our schedule. I was looking for a place that would provide safe, personalized service for our family—our 15 year old son wanted to complete his Open Water certification ; my husband and I... More
