Klein Bonaire with Dive shop?

[boleslav]

We are not divers, free dive and snorkel, but would like to visit Klein Bonaire and check out the sites there.
Do you have any recomendation which dive shop (if any) to contact if we would like to join their boat trip to Klein.
Are the dive sites on KB even suitable for us?
(We did the same scenario of joining the dive boats in Indonesia, and it worked out perfectly, as their dive spots were better than regular snorkeling stops).

I would imagine any of the dive shops that has space on their boats would allow this.

That is an easy way to get to Klein, but not to any of the usual or better dive sites.

We plan to take the taxi for one trip, but exactly as tursiops points out, we would also like to see more than that.

What dive shop/s would you guys recommend to contact?

Who are you getting your tank from? Where are you staying?

Any of the dive shops on Bonaire offering boat dives could take you and your companions to Klein Bonaire, they're easy to find on line. The bigger problem is I doubt any of those shops will guarantee that you'll get two dives, or maybe even just one dive, over at Klein. Dive sites are typically chosen ad hoc, not planned out in advance.

If my understanding is correct dive boats are only going to Klein for morning dives, not afternoon dives, which will limit the boat dive options and perhaps space availability on morning boat dives.

How many are in your free diving party? It may make more sense to charter a private boat for yourselves to take you over to Klein for your dives, though I'm not sure if it can be just any boat (STINAPA permit required?) or you'd specifically need a divemaster with a boat.

Sorry. Are you staying somewhere that has a dive operator? That would be the obvious people to talk to.
