Bonaire, Is it worth the trip?

[drewuw]

I am kicking around taking a dive trip to Bonaire. What is everyones opinion?
How is the Diving? What time of year is best? and most importantly, how is the night life?
Looking forward to some help.

The diving is amazing.
The night life will probably disappoint you if that is your priority.

 

[drewuw]

Would you recommend anywhere to stay Or a dive shop?

The diving is absolutely awesome! We were there in the beginning of November and it was a good time. It's not much for night life though. You always have the bars at the resorts but otherwise not much. But we weren't doing much partying because we were there to dive dive dive!

Buddy dive is nice. And the resorts tend to have their own dive shops right on the premesis. We used "wannadive Bonaire" and they were great!

 

[drewuw]

Was the resort that your stayed at worth the trip back. Which resort was it?

 

[CLEAR BLUE]

We would definitely go back to Bonaire but not to the same place we were at. We looked around at other places and decided that if we went back it would be to Buddy's. We've also heard good things about Sand Dollar, Eden Beach, and BelMar. Wannadive has several locations one of which is at Eden Beach.

Buddy Dive or BelMar. BelMar is owned by Buddy Dive and is very quiet...
