Your instructor guides you through every step at a pace that keeps you confident and safe. 📋 Key Details Duration: 3 days Group size: 2 to 8 participants Minimum age: 10 years Certification: PADI Open Water Diver Pickup: Anywhere in Kralendijk 🤿 What to Expect Before you arrive, you work through the PADI e-learning theory at your own pace so more of your time on the island is spent in the water.

Day two builds on navigation, dive planning basics and further buoyancy practice with additional open water sessions. Day three completes your final skills assessment and certification dive on the reef. Across all four open water dives you apply what you have learned in real conditions, with your instructor reviewing each skill until you are comfortable before moving on. 📍 Location Training runs from shore sites around Kralendijk within Bonaire National Marine Park.

Training takes place at shore dive sites around Kralendijk within Bonaire's protected marine park. Confined water skills are practised in calm, shallow areas before progressing to open water reef dives. Bonaire's calm conditions and healthy reefs make it one of the best places in the Caribbean to learn to dive. ### How big are the groups? Groups run with a minimum of 2 and maximum of 8 participants, keeping instruction personal and allowing your instructor to give individual attention throughout. Smaller ratios mean more time practising skills and more relaxed open water dives on the reef. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/416cd6f9-e346-4419-911d-5a4bd7ba06f3.jpeg - **Gallery image count**: 5 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
