Bonaire
Join us in our favorite spot - It’s so nice, we go back EVERY YEAR.
There is a reason Bonaire is called “diver’s paradise”. With over 50 shore accessible dive sites surrounding the island, you have endless options to explore - without the restriction of relying on charters to get you there! Bonaire is known for having colorful reef, calm water, and big walls. Aside from the ease of diving, the island itself is beautiful - with great food and kind people! Explore above and below, on your own schedule. We love the fact that we can take a big group of local divers - but that the trip offers the freedom to enjoy quality time with whom you choose, when you choose.
It’s a dive trip dream come true!
Our 2026 dates have options to stay 1 or 2 weeks.
NOV. 28th - DEC. 5th OR 12th
Group trips don’t align or you want a private get away???
As licensed Buddy Dive affiliates, we can extend our discounts to you year around! Just reach out to book your own stay at Buddy - we’re happy to help!
When are we going?
This year - We are heading down November 28th & offering one or two week stays (or anything in between).
Where do we stay in Bonaire?
We are partnered with 2 amazing dive resorts that each offer waterfront stays with great dives right off the dock! They are sister resorts with great customer service & you are sure to enjoy your stay no matter which one you pick!
BUDDY DIVE:
Buddy Dive is one of the most well known resorts on the island - as it is also one of the longest standing! They are known for their ocean front dive shop & ability to hop on a charter boat right our front if you so choose. Buddy dive is much larger than Belmar & has multiple pools & restaurants onsite. It’s a lovely property with great staff & is close proximity to town - where all the action on island happens. There are plenty of people to meet by the pool and again - great dives right off the dock! Buddy’s “drive & dive” package offers a rental truck, unlimited air, and a really nice breakfast buffet included every morning. They have a drive through fill station where you can grab your tanks for the day and head off on your own adventure!
