Creator's Key Takeaways

Today is a really special day for us. We're in Bonire, and this [music] is my first dive in three years.

The refresher course plus the equipment rental was $124 a person.

If you are a scuba diver, but you haven't dived in a long time, I highly, highly recommend them.

Bonaire is a lowkey, uncrowded and easy to navigate. Perfect for a long, flexible day.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book a refresher course if you haven't dived in a long time.
Take advantage of long port days for flexible activities.
Bring your own gear for free snorkeling near the port.
