Great Family-owned, friendly dive shop - We highly recommend 4 Wheel Diving for those that are coming to Bonaire to dive on their own. This is a family owned/run business and they are very helpful with giving newcomers to Bonaire tips on the best dive sites, information and tips on those dive sites (best entry/exits and things to look for, etc), they even provided some recommendations on restaurants (and ice cream). They also added air to a low tire on our car and provided some cream for a jelly fish sting! We dealt with Vanesa and Yago and both were super friendly and helpful. Their 10 tank dive card is a great deal too! Again, highly recommended and when we come back, we’ll go back to their shop.

Just Amazing! - 4 wheel diving was truly an amazing dive operator. If coming to Bonaire I highly recommend them. They were professional and fun to be around. They take safety as a priority and I love that they keep the group sizes very small to provide an individual experience. This was the best part of our trip. Yago was beyond helpful.

Outstanding Dive Shop with a Personal Touch! - We dove with Island Time Divers for five days, and it was amazing! The small group sizes allowed for personal attention, and our guide, Chris, made sure we were always comfortable and safe. The highlight was a night dive where we saw bioluminescent plankton – absolutely magical! If you’re looking for a dive shop that truly cares about its customers, look no further.

Family of 4 scuba - Family of 4 with two certified divers and two first time divers. Our guide Seth was so patient and awesome. I wasn’t sure my wife would be able to scuba dive but his patience and technique did the trick. This is a wonderful family owned business that treated us as part of the family. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to give scuba a try.
Also Bonaire is an awesome place to dive

Great service in Bonaire - Great professional and personalized service. The price is worth it as they limit dive group size to only four divers at a time which I really like. Dive brief was well done for both dives and Jack was a great guide showing us a giant snapper, tarpon and seahorse. Post dive meal features traditional Bonaire food and was delicious. Post dive I received an email from them with pictures from the dive at no additional cost! Highly recommend 4Wheel Diving.

Exceptional Diving Experience – Worth Every Penny! - Our group recently had the pleasure of diving with 4Wheel Diving in Bonaire, and it was nothing short of outstanding! Our group included newly certified Open Water divers and a grandfather who was a bit rusty and in need of a refresher. From the moment we booked, it was clear this was not your average diving operation.
Professionalism and Personal Touch
Compared to other diving companies, 4Wheel Diving is like fine dining in a world of fast food. Jack, our guide and instructor, exemplified professionalism, patience, and expertise. He took the time to understand each of our needs, ensuring that everyone felt confident, safe, and, most importantly, had fun. He answered all of our questions thoroughly, creating an environment where we could truly relax and enjoy the experience without feeling rushed or overlooked.
Exceptional Service from Start to Finish
Vanessa’s prompt and detailed communication set the tone from the start. She went above and beyond in answering all our pre-trip questions, making us feel valued even before we arrived. Her thoughtful responses demonstrated that this company is far from a “cookie-cutter” operation. Unlike many other places where you feel like just another number, 4Wheel Diving prioritizes quality over quantity—no “cattle herding” here!
Inspiring the Next Generation
Most importantly, this experience ignited a spark in our 14-year-old daughter. She left the trip over the moon excited about diving and is now determined to obtain her Advanced Open Water certification. Even more inspiring, she’s seriously considering a degree in marine biology to help conserve coral reefs from bleaching and pursue a career as a dive instructor. Watching her passion blossom thanks to Jacks mentorship and 4Wheel Diving’s approach was absolutely priceless.
Worth Every Penny
Yes, they may be a bit pricier than other diving companies in Bonaire, but the difference is worth every single penny. The level of one-on-one instruction and attention is unparalleled. With 4Wheel Diving, you’re not just getting a dive; you’re getting a personalized, boutique experience led by professionals who genuinely care about the underwater world and their guests.
Unmatched Dive Sites and Marine Life
Bonaire itself is a diver’s paradise, and 4Wheel Diving helped us experience its full potential. From vibrant reefs teeming with life to the company’s dedication to reef preservation, every moment felt like we were part of something extraordinary. Jacks background as a marine biologist added an educational layer to the dives, enriching our appreciation for the island’s efforts in coral conservation and marine ecosystem protection.
Final Thoughts
We’ve snorkeled and dived in nearly every Caribbean island, and nothing comes close to Bonaire and 4Wheel Diving. If you’re looking for a company that blends professionalism, personalized service, and a true love for the ocean, this is the one to choose. Our experience was a perfect balance of safety, education, and sheer fun.
Thank you, Vanessa, Jack, and the entire team at 4Wheel Diving. You not only gave us unforgettable memories, but you also inspired the next generation to carry the torch for marine conservation. We’ll definitely be back for more adventures!
Highly recommend to anyone visiting Bonaire!

So much better than the usual boat dive - I was very impressed with the guys and the operation. We hopped into a fantastic truck and went diving some places that hardly any island visitors ever see. Well worth the time and money. I’m a scuba instructor in Colorado and will definitely send my open water referrals to the great instructors, Yago and Jack at 4 Wheel Diving.

Wonderful Family Dive Shop! - I loved this family owned dive shop, 10/10 recommend! I used their services for two days of diving (dive like local) and a Rescue Diver course. They were so full of knowledge with decades of experience and provided flexibility in the dive schedule. Jack was my Rescue Diver instructor and was very patient, informing and yet effectively stern. I mean, it was about saving lives after all ;) It was a fun class that left me very confident to assist if the need ever arrises. I brought brand new gear with me to the island and they were excited to show me everything they loved about it, helped me buy a single tank adaptor and taught me how to attached it properly. truly kind, caring and wonderful people. All their island recommendations were very helpful (and delicious!). I don’t usually visit somewhere more than once, but they can count on me to visit Bonaire again (and again and again) and be their customer. Oh, and they have good diving snacks/lunch :D
