Become an Instructor

Hi, I’m Martijn

I’m a Dutch dive professional based on the island of Bonaire. I work with all kinds of divers—those taking their very first breath underwater, experienced divers who want to level up, and professionals ready to take their careers deeper.

As a PADI Master Instructor, Tec Trimix Instructor, and CCR Trainer, I offer training at every level: recreational, pro, and technical. My goal? To make sure every diver I train walks away feeling confident, safe, and stoked to get back in the water.

I teach through VIP Diving, one of Bonaire’s top-rated dive centers. Together, we offer a supportive and flexible environment that’s ideal for serious training… without losing the fun.

Testimonials​

“ Our instructor, Martijn, was the best; calm, thorough, clear. But most importantly, we had fun! He couldn’t have made the experience of getting my Open Water any better.

Would highly recommend him if you are considering to dive on Bonaire. And would love to come back for further education or dive trips. ”
