Welcome to Bonaire! After your flight, your awesome Broadreach Instructors will be right outside the arrivals hall, excited and ready to meet you and the rest of the group. Get ready to feel the warm, tropical breeze as we head to our new home for the next 12 days! Tonight, we’ll kick things off with a fun group dinner to celebrate the start of our amazing adventure together.
Rise and shine! Our first full day in Bonaire starts with a fun orientation to learn about this beautiful Caribbean island. Then, it’s time to suit up in our scuba gear for a refresher dive! We’ll jump into the water to practice some skills and get comfy with our dive equipment. It feels so good to be back under the sea! As the sun sets, we’ll be pumped for all the cool things ahead.
Today, we’re diving right into our Advanced Open Water course! We’ll level up our skills in navigation and buoyancy as we explore different dive sites around the island. With crystal-clear waters and amazing reefs, get ready to spot bright corals, sea turtles, and schools of colorful fish. It’s going to be an underwater wonderland!
Beat the heat with an epic adventure in Washington-Slagbaai National Park! We’ll hike across limestone plateaus, discover cool plants and animals, and explore wild landscapes like sand dunes, blowholes, and mangroves. In the afternoon, we’re back in the water for more diving fun, and tonight, we take on our first night dive—get ready to see the reef light up after dark!
We kick off the morning with a deep dive to finish our Advanced Open Water certification! In the afternoon, it’s your turn to choose the next dive spot—where will it be? To celebrate becoming certified Advanced divers, we’ll head out for a delicious dinner in Kralendijk, Bonaire’s super charming capital town.
For the next two days, we’re diving into the world of coral reef conservation! You’ll learn why these underwater worlds are so important and how we can protect them. We’ll get hands-on with coral nurseries and restoration sites, helping to keep Bonaire’s reefs healthy and thriving. Time to use those buoyancy skills and make a difference! By the end of Day 7, we’ll look back on everything we’ve accomplished for our oceans.
Today, we’re teaming up with locals to keep Bonaire’s beaches clean and beautiful! Keep an eye out—you might even spot some donkeys roaming around! After our awesome beach clean-up, we’ll refuel with lunch and prepare for an afternoon of land sailing. It’s like sailing but on land—fast, exciting, and totally unforgettable!
Grab your coral watch charts because today, we’re diving in to check how healthy the reef is! With all the cool skills from our reef renewal course, we’ll identify different corals and learn more about them. And the fun doesn’t stop there! The afternoon is up to you—dive again, have a BBQ, or go on a flamingo search? The choice is yours for our next adventure!
Today, we’re back underwater with a special twist—we’re learning all about sea turtles! In partnership with Bonaire Sea Turtle Conservation, we’ll discover these incredible creatures, their homes, and how we can help protect them. Bonaire is famous for its sea turtles, so we’re in the perfect spot!
Our last full day is all about relaxing and reflecting. We’ll visit the Donkey Sanctuary to hand-feed donkeys and learn about how locals protect and care for these animals. In the afternoon, it’s beach time! Kick back, soak up the sun, and enjoy our last day on this awesome island. We’ll wrap things up with a final group dinner and celebrate all the amazing things we’ve done together.
It’s time to say farewell to island life, but we’ll leave with tons of amazing stories and memories to share with friends and family. After one last group lunch, we’ll head to the airport for our flights home. Who knows where our love for the underwater world will take us next? Safe travels and see you soon!
