Where will you be staying?

Buddy Dive Resort is one of the premier dive resorts on Bonaire and their all-inclusive, guest-first atmosphere is why we chose to stay here. Choose between one, two and three bedroom apartments and bring all your dive friends!

Who are we diving with?

Most mornings will start with a two-tank dive with Buddy, either right off the back of their property or on a short boat ride to one of their favorite local reefs. Afternoon dives will vary and we’re leaving the sites and dive itinerary in the hands of our other sponsoring PADI Dive Centers: Toucan Divers, Divi Flamingo, Wanna Dive, Dive Friends and Scuba Do.

What else can I expect?

We will have fun activities planned for you each evening. From hosted dinners to live bands and cocktail parties, you won’t find a boring moment on this trip. Buddy Dive will also provide each group with a pickup truck to transport you around the island to enjoy the different dive operators who are hosting us throughout the week.
