Testimonials
Maria at Dive Diva Bonaire is truly a passionate instructor and and expert on Bonaire diving. With an emphasis on safety, skill development and knowledge of the reefs of the island, she was very helpful to me in fine-tuning my buoyancy and underwater photography. Maria took the time to thoroughly explain and demonstrate the techniques I wanted to work on. She took videos of me as I performed the exercises and sent them to me with commentary. I highly recommend Dive Diva!
In June'23 I went with Maria on a (one-on-one) scuba dive tour where we did two amazing dives in Bonaire (Invisibles & Salt Pier).
The sites were incredible; we saw lots of beautiful coral, fish (incl barracuda) and even a turtle and spotted eagle ray - truly great!
Maria is a great experienced guide & diver, easy-going, willing to help and listen to your needs and wishes to ensure a great experience. As a diver with limited experience myself, the one-on-one experience really made me enjoy the dives a lot more compared to guided tours with large(r) groups. Can definitely recommend Maria / dive diva, 100%
My daughter and I had a fantastic time diving with Maria. My daughter did her discover dive course and then we went on two great dives, including to the Salt Pier where we saw lots of turtles and some seahorses, amongst all the other fish. Maria is a great guide and instructor and made my daughter feel very comfortable. I highly recommend Dive Diva Bonaire.
Great job
Maria is the best dive guide we’ve ever had. Not just that. She’s not just a dive guide, she is also snorkelling guide, tourist guide, Bonaire guide. She is a friend you want to have when coming in to a new place. Her personal attitude, her patient and her enthusiasm is amazing. Not just a dive center, where you are one of many. When you are beginner diver or something between, want to know more than just good dive spots, want to see more of Bonaire than just underwater life, she is the one you need! Although she doesn’t have her own store, everything is well prepared and organized. It fits your style and needs. Because of her, our stay on Bonaire was unforgettable. Thank you Maria again for everything. For us, common dive center can hardly compete to you. Keep your way, it’s the right way!
Excellent instructor! Had a lot of fun getting my certification with Maria.
