About us

At VIP Diving, we're more than just about diving.

Our goal is simple - to give you the best experience on Bonaire. Founded by Bas Noij and currently led by Jonathan Oosterhof and Jan van Nieuwamerongen, our journey began with a vision to provide diving "VIP style" – combining top-notch equipment, prime dive spots, and( personal) attention to detail and service. Since 2009, VIP Diving has blossomed into a unique dive operation with passionate people at its heart. 

We are passionate people. Passionate about diving, and responsible about our impact.

Sustainability is not just a practice, it's integrated into our core values.

We're committed to preserving Bonaire's natural beauty and marine ecosystems. Our efforts include harnessing solar energy to power our operations, minimizing water usage through innovative practices, and promoting waste reduction and recycling.

We actively participate in environmental initiatives and encourage eco-conscious choices among our guests and staff.
