🌿 Beyond the Corals – Dive for a Cause

PADI 5 ECO Dive Resort | Bonaire, Caribbean Netherlands

Welcome to Beyond the Corals – Bonaire’s eco-forward PADI 5 Dive Resort, where your dive holiday becomes a contribution to the reef. Located directly on the iconic Bachelor’s Beach, we are more than a dive shop – we are a mission.

Our dive center is built around the belief that diving should protect what it explores. Every guided dive, PADI course and specialty we offer is designed to restore, protect and celebrate Bonaire’s world-renowned reef ecosystem. From coral nursery care to AI-powered sea turtle monitoring and invasive lionfish removal, our experiences allow you to give back — while diving some of the Caribbean’s most beautiful reefs.

As certified STINAPA Reef Rangers, Green Fins members, and official Reef Renewal Foundation Bonaire partners, our team of PADI instructors, marine biologists and conservationists is here to educate, empower and inspire. Whether you’re new to diving or a seasoned ocean advocate – this is your place to dive deeper.
