Hi everyone. We just finished work on a project to install some shore signage at Buddy Dive Resort last month. We wanted to get your feedback on the concept (see images). Do you find this interesting? Useful...or not? Decent help with dive briefings? We're looking at expanding the concept and...

My plan is from 5th november do some diving for approx 2 weeks in Bonaire. Since i am experienced diver just need company to share car, appartment, etc. If u want just diving is fine also for me. Preffered gender is female ;) My plan is 3 dives daily, but will not push u to go over your limits...

The last three stops of a 35 day cruise around South America are the ABC's, and we are going to lug our gear with us so we can dive. Anyone have specific recommendations for dive outfits that can accommodate cruise ship passengers? We have dove out of Mambo Beach in Curacao and with Dive Aruba...

Hi, I'm diving with group for a week in Bonaire and want to add a few days on to the trip. Question is, do I spend those few days diving in Curacao or add on to my time in Bonaire? In researching Curacao the diving sounds great, but I know Bonaire is, and am concerned I may be disappointed. I'm...

Hey all - Hope your Friday is going well. Question: I'm leaving for Bonaire tomorrow and I keep hearing about the beautiful shore diving we'll be doing, along with the need for heavy booties to walk to the water over what can be a rocky shoreline. Will 3 mil wetsuit "socks" with rubber soles...

Visited Bonaire late last year for my first dive-centric trip in close to a decade! I have been diving some in the interim, but have not taken a proper “dive trip” in forever. Last year it occurred to me that I missed it a lot and decided to fix the situation. First thing I will say is if you...

Headed to Bonaire soon and was wondering about dives sites around the island. Either must dive wreak or deep dives? And definitely the drive own truck shore dives around the island...any other info,, places to eat,, what else to do would greatly be appreciated. Thanks

Less tolerant of winter's cold each year, I took a last-minute plunge and booked a dive trip to Bonaire. My goal was simple: easy entry! I wanted to do lots of macro photography, I wanted to do it on my schedule, and i wanted to do it as often (or not) as I liked. Although I'd had mixed feelings...

This is a follow-up to my last post on macro photography sites on Bonaire. Anyone know any good critter spotters for hire on the island? I’m looking for someone who can do a few dives with me to look specifically for blennies, nudis, etc. Thanks in advance! (If you’re going first week in...

Hi, all - I've been to Bonaire twice, enjoyed the experience, but found myself not bowled over by the diving, relative to Saba, Cozumel, or my favorite U.S. site, Blue Heron Bridge. And this prompts my question. I'm most passionate about macro photography, hence my love for BHB in Fla. I have...

1st trip to Bonaire and looking for advice. We usually do boat dives. Is it worth it to book a dive package through the hotel or just book them separately? Does Dive Friends let you dive your computer on boat dives and group divers together with similar experience? Do they group Nitrox divers...

We just finished our second trip to Bonaire last week and we had a much more enjoyable experience mainly due to the learning curve. I'd like to share some tips and tricks and site specific info that will hopefully make your trip better. Getting there. Where you are coming from makes a...

This was my wife's and my sixth Bonaire trip. Our first was our honeymoon in 2009, when shore diving was new to us. We have been returning to Bonaire every couple of years or so as part of a small group of 6-8, and this trip was the first time since our honeymoon that my wife and I have been...

My wife and I will be in Bonaire in June. In our 10+ years of diving (only 1-2 trips per year...sigh), only I have been the finder of a seahorse. We have seen others that were found by people we are diving with but not much luck on our own. Seahorses are my wife's favorite and I would love to be...

Favorite Memories of the SB SURGE 2018! Please share here in this thread your trip reports, favorite dives, top side memories, videos, and photos from this year's ScubaBoard SURGE 2018 to Bonaire. Here's our Group Crew Pic! And the fun Farewell Video! I'll add my trip report and post...

...for letting Bruce and Lynn join us at the ScubaBoard Surge in Bonaire. They brought two Perdix AI kits for folks to try out, which was the hot commodity here. Most of all, the opportunity to simply chat with them was priceless. Thanks for a great product and great diver support.

I finally had a chance to use my macro lens underwater for the first time in Bonaire and it was a lot of fun. In fact, it was more fun looking for the little stuff than I thought it would be as generally I like the big stuff :) Here are a few of my shots taken with a Canon 5D MIII using a Macro...

Just finished a fabulous week at Buddy Dive Resort Bonaire, sipping ice cold Polars on the patio, reflecting on 15 great dives and thought I better post before I have to go back home and reality takes over. I had scheduled a couple of guided dives with Bas Diving early in the week but a slight...

I'm thinking about visiting Bonaire between April - November for a week. Which month is the best to visit if you had to pick? I know general conditions are great year round. But are there any unique underwater events I should be thinking about - like coral spawning, bioluminescence, etc.
