Our Mission.
Our dive shop is more than just a place to gear up. It’s the powerful tool to make a positive change in both your life and the world beneath the waves.

Our mission is to be a force for positive change and to guide the next generation of divers. We're here for those who not only seek personal growth and excel in knowledge and skills, but also have a deep appreciation for the underwater world and actively contribute to its conservation.
We deeply value the contribution diving makes to an individual's life. We believe that becoming a diver is not just about acquiring knowledge and skills; it's a profound personal growth experience. We are here to provide support and guidance as you embark on the path to becoming a diver, or wish to improve your skills. For those who dream of turning their passion into a profession, our Scuba Elite Academy is here to elevate your aspirations.
But our mission goes beyond personal growth; it's also about fostering a deeper connection between divers and their environment. We believe in a better world, and we know that divers who witness change happening beneath the waves are some of our most important ambassadors for nature. We encourage all initiatives that aim to protect and preserve our oceans. Together, we can create a brighter and more sustainable future for our planet!
We encourage all initiatives that aim to protect and preserve our oceans. Through for example clean-up dives, participation in Reef Renewal projects, and our latest endeavor, coral bleaching surveys, we collaborate with our guests to contribute as much as possible.
“We believe in taking action and inspiring others to do the same.”

You will readily spot our Green Fins icons in the dive shop and truck. We will discuss the importance of reef-friendly sunscreen, encourage you to refine your buoyancy skills and stress the importance of keeping any dive gear from touching the reef. In addition, we try to minimize paper usage in our day-to-day operations by implementing a digital check-in system. Furthermore, we proudly serve as a point of sale for turtle merchandise to support the Sea Turtle Conservation Bonaire and offer Lionfish Hunter courses to help control the invasive species. But this is not all. And more is needed for a sustainable future.
But this is just the beginning! Together we can create a brighter future for our planet.
