Bonaire 2025
Dec 28th - Jan 8th 2026
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!
When are we going?
This year - We are heading down December 28th & staying for 10 nights & 11 days - Leaving Jan. 8th. New Years Eve is supposed to be an awesome celebration on the island & we should also catch some special bioluminescence
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!
BELMAR: *** WE ONLY HAVE SPOTS LEFT @ BUDDY FOR 2025
Belmar is the smaller of the two resorts. It has a more boutique feel - with all rooms being ocean front with private patios surrounding the pool in the center of the property. They do not have a bar or restaurant onsite… But, they are in close proximity to grocery stores, great food trucks , yummy restaurants etc. The apartments are either one or two bedrooms - with the option to have 1 or 2 people per room. Each room has their own private bathroom and shares a kitchen, living room, and patio. Their “Drive and Dive” package offers a rental truck with the apartment & unlimited air for your stay. There are tanks on the dock as well as their drive up tank station - Where you can load up your tanks for the day easily & be free to explore the island! Belmar is quiet, peaceful, and low key in the best way!
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!

How much is the trip?
It is only a $500 deposit to secure your spot & we highly recommend you do so - this trip sells out every year.
Your final pricing structure includes that $500 deposit & will depend on which resort, whether you would like a private room or a roommate, and if you are a diver or a nondiver…
