At Buddy Dive, they are known for their casual atmosphere,
personable staff, spacious accommodations and a dive operation that
has something for every diver: comfortable boats, complete rental
and retail center, exceptional staff, and a unique "Drive Thru" with
a two-lane air/nitrox fill station. No matter which apartment you
are staying in, you're never further than a giant stride away from
our popular and lively house reef which is perfect for diving and
snorkeling, day and night.
Climb into the rental truck you receive automatically with your Drive
& Dive package, and take advantage of the 60 dive sites, accessible
from the shore line of Bonaire or tour the island with a guide on
one of many excursions available to you through the Activity Center.
Divers, snorkelers, adventurers and leisure travelers will feel equally
at home at Buddy Dive.
You will want to save plenty of time to relax in a hammock, lounge
by one of our two pools, simply catch some rays or saunter on down
to The Poolbar for a cocktail before sampling some of the local specialties.
With as many as 60 officially listed dive sites on Bonaire
and another 20 dive sites on Klein Bonaire, the dive operation at
Buddy Dive Resort is geared up for you to make the most out of your
dive vacation. With a fleet of custom dive boats and a well stocked
'Drive Thru' offering air and nitrox tanks, every divers needs can
be satisfied. To help us keep our reef environment healthy for many
years to come, we do encourage all divers traveling to Bonaire to
familiarize themselves with the Marine Park Regulations prior to their
visit.
On average, Bonaire's visibility exceeds 100 feet (30 meters) and
our average water temperature is 80 degrees Fahrenheit (29c). The
fringing reef begins close to the shore, usually a short 30 foot (10
meter) swim or less, making Bonaire world renowned for its ease of
shore diving.
Bonaire's waters offer something special for every diver.
Novice divers will appreciate the calm waters, reefs that run parallel
to shore, and minimal currents. These conditions make it an ideal
location to really work on improving those buoyancy skills! And the
abundance of marine life living along the shallow drop-off area of
the reef slope allows for maximum bottom time, while giving new divers
an opportunity to develop a level of comfort and confidence in their
newly learned skills.
All levels of divers can enjoy the freedom of our unlimited shore
diving package, making as many dives as they want each day, according
to their own safe profiles. There are plenty of 80 and 63 cubic foot
air and Nitrox tanks available at either the Drive Thru or on the
dock where there are convenient benches for gear set-up and two sturdy
ladders that provide easy access to the water. Rinse tanks are located
at the Drive Thru as well as on the docks where there is an extensive
gear storage room. This simply makes diving at Buddy's easy and enjoyable.
