We’re Stephan and Linda, the couple behind Wanderlust Dive Center in Kralendijk, Bonaire. We built a boutique dive center where small groups, calm briefings and genuine island hospitality come first, so you can simply enjoy world-class diving in the heart of the Caribbean Netherlands.

From a busy life to a life underwater

In the Netherlands, life never paused. Work, phones, appointments, repeat.
Diving changed everything: that first descent felt like hitting the off switch. Only your breath, sunlight on the reef, and weightlessness. We wanted to share that feeling with others, so we turned our passion into a profession.

After our SSI Open Water Diver certification we kept learning, eventually becoming SSI Instructors and later an SSI Instructor Training Center. In 2023 we left the busy mainland and made our dream home on Dushi Bonaire, the perfect place to welcome you to the water.

Why “Wanderlust”

Wanderlust means a strong desire to explore. That’s exactly what we invite you to do here: discover Bonaire’s reefs, slow down, and reconnect with nature, at your own pace.

What we believe (and how we teach & guide)

• Small groups, personal attention. Max 4 divers per guide, no crowds, no rush.
• Clear, calm briefings. Dutch & English instructors who take time for you.
• Professional standards. SSI Instructor Training level approach with well-maintained gear.
• Island hospitality. Friendly, safe and relaxed, this is Bonaire.

Whether it’s your first breath underwater or your next specialty or pro step, we’ll design the experience around you.

Our home base in Kralendijk

You’ll find us a few minutes from Van Den Tweel Supermarket in Kralendijk, central for shore dives on the west coast and close to the island’s most loved sites. We arrange gear, tanks and transport, so your day on Bonaire stays beautifully simple.

Meet the family

Since December 2022 we’re proud parents of Mara. She reminds us daily why we chose a life close to nature and community. You’ll often see one of us on shore while the other leads a dive, Wanderlust is truly family-run.
