Our scuba trip tag example for the diver crossing signs on Bonaire.

Instead of writing up a long trip report, I decided to create this video instead, showing video and photo highlights from my recent trip to Buddy Dive Resort in Bonaire in December 2016. I know it's 10 minutes long, but it moves pretty quick given all the different sites that were visited. It...

Just finished a week of diving in Bonaire. This was my fifth dive destination in the Caribbean, and I found the diving there to be very good and the Dutch influenced culture to be quite seductive. We stayed at the Carib Inn which I selected for its modest pricing and low key small resort...

Just back from two weeks in the ABC’s, and want to ‘pay it forward’ to those who helped me plan and those who will follow! Caveats: we are novice & casual divers, we plan trips based on the overall destination rather than solely by the diving. We bring our mask & fins but don’t own any other...

I'm planning to dive with Dive Friends Bonaire, and do some guided dives the first couple days and then either find some buddies to go with or just keep doing dives with them. My brother may be coming with me, but it's not 100%, so that's why I'm looking for potential buddies. I know that's high...

due to character limitations needed to split report into two... Cai – probably best dive due to diverse topography/structures in one dive. Walls, slopes, sandy patches, lots of coral growth; this was a 104 minute dive with no deeper than 44’. Average depth at 24; school of tarpon (40+), school...

First time in Bonaire. Stayed for 2 weeks at Den Laman and used Bonaire Dive and Adventure as the base dive operator. Also did a dive on the East Coast with Bas Tol. He is fantastic and while viz wasn’t the best (40-50’) it was probably the best dive of the trip. Highly recommend Bas for any...

I don't know if this has been posted before but if not, I'd like to share this unmarked dive site. It's a nice site with a bit of a different layout then the rest of the west coast. Take the road to south past the salt pier and when you pass the divesite invincibles you drive another few 100...

Will be in Bonaire for the first time in November for 2 weeks. Started reading information about the dive sites in order to put together a dive plan for each day. Thought I would ask this forum if someone has a schedule of diving for Bonaire for a 2 week stay and would be willing to share it...

Hi all! A group of mixed friends/family are planning a trip to dive/snorkel/bird watch/lounge/fish. Some divers (experienced and brand new), some snorkelers, and some beach lizards. Which of these would be best for a diverse group like this? Thanks for the info!

On September 5th, 2016 while diving at Site H, Monte’s Divi off of Klein Bonaire my wife had a primary stage failure. She began to inhale seawater and panicked. She was only 20 feet from the DM and me, but we were swimming against a heavy current. Desperate for air she did not think about her...

Greetings from Texas Heading to Bonaire and unlimited shore diving this October Suggestions? Good and bad? Thanks in advance

Hello I've arrived in Bonaire about a week ago to visit family and did not plan on diving but being here and experiencing the beautiful island I feel as if I am letting a huge opportunity slide by not diving. I am 20 years old and not too experienced but would like to buddy up or join a group...

It all started with myself and my two travel buddies wondering where to go on our next trip together. Strong cases were made for road trips across Australia and Patagonia. However our Icelandic friend, being an experienced diver and having worked on cruise ships in the Caribbean, suggested we go...

Hi, I have just gotten back into diving after a 20 year layoff to raise two daughters. Went to Grand Cayman with the family last year (oldest is now certified) and was bitten, once again, by the 'dive bug'. Due to other family commitments I will be traveling solo. This is my first time to...

Ferry service between the ABC-islands becoming a reality This would certainly change how we travel between the islands.
