Diving with VIP for 8 tanks over 4 days with three different guides, we found them incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and skilled, providing individual attention and coaching, especially appreciated by our less experienced diver, making them the go-to choice for shore diving in Bonaire.

We have dove in all parts of the world… VIP Diving is an exceptional dive shop; from service, quality of gear to professionalism. There was such ease in getting our tanks, and storage of gear in a clean well organized facility was a bonus. Thank you so much. We will be back.
