Discover the ultimate dive resort on Bonaire: Buddy Dive Resort. Here you’ll find everything under one roof, including its own house reef. Bonaire is a diver’s paradise and attracts many Dutch, Belgian and American visitors. As a special municipality of the Netherlands, there are many Dutch influences, including the main language and well-known supermarkets. But what makes Bonaire truly unique are the dives. Enjoy an average water temperature of 28\u00b0C, visibility that sometimes reaches 30 meters, swim with turtles and admire the colorful tropical fish. <\/p>

Most of Bonaire’s dive sites are easily accessible from shore. This makes the Drive & Dive concept the most popular way to dive on Bonaire. On a Drive & Dive dive vacation, you rent a car (almost always a pickup) and pick up daily dive tanks with air (or nitrox) from the dive center. By the way, the diving school also provides you with lead. Of course, it is possible to rent diving equipment and\/or book boat dives. <\/p>

There are as many as 80 dive sites on Bonaire. Some popular dive sites include: <\/p>

  • Salt Pier, a dive site in the south where you dive under the salt pier. Here you can often find large schools of fish, hidden angler fish and tarpon. In the shallows there are often young green sea turtles <\/li>
  • Hilma Hooker, Bonaire’s famous wreck. <\/li>
  • Karpata, in the north. With its valeits and diverse coral, this is a very favorite dive site <\/li>
  • Red Slave, Rianne’s favorite. Here you can often find eagle rays in the shallows at 5m and if you look carefully you can find a few seahorses! <\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Best travel time:<\/b> Bonaire offers fantastic diving year-round, with favorite diving months during the summer. The rainy season runs from mid-October to mid-January, with more mosquitoes. A constant easterly wind provides pleasant temperatures, but also causes rough water conditions on the east coast and calmer seas on the west coast. There are peak crowds during the Christmas season, mainly because of the many American tourists visiting the island. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Wetsuit advice for Bonaire<\/h3>\n

    \"\"A 3 mm wetsuit is recommended between July & November. The other months the water temperature fluctuates between 27\/28 C. For most divers then a 3mm is still sufficient, but if you dive a lot or get cold quickly then you might consider a 5mm. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n
