Comments on Bonaire Dive Operators

Toucan Diving Sharptail Snake EelPlaza Resort Bonaire J.A. Abraham BoulevardKralendijk, Bonaire, Netherlands Antilles Comments: Three dive boats make daily trips based on divers' wants and schedules. Night dives available upon request. Captains and divemasters went out of the way to accommodate and protect my camera gear. Full-service retail facilities, nitrox and scuba instruction. Special trips to the eastern side of the island (depending on the weather) and to Washington Park. Facilities very well maintained and probably the nicest on the island. Bon Bini Divers Kaya Gobernador N. Debrot #90Bonaire, Netherlands AntillesComments: Two dive boats make one-tank trips in the morning and afternoon. Night and shore diving available twice per week or at customers' discretion, as well as all-day trips to Washington Park and to the southern tip of the island. Scuba, UW video and photography instruction on premises. Staff very helpful and showed me some exceptional diving at the Salt Pier. Sand Dollar Dive & Photo PO Box 361Bonaire, Netherlands Antilles. Comments: Large operation expertly managed and run. Four boats make four daily trips plus night dives on select days. Shore diving available 24 hours. Scuba instruction and full-service photo/video retail/rental shop with film processing and custom videos. Excellent UW naturalists on staff. On off-days, divers can kayak, snorkel or mountain bike. Buddy Beach & Dive Resort PO Box 231 Kralendijk, Bonaire, Netherlands Antilles. Comments: Two dive boats, which take divers on morning, afternoon and night (upon request) one-tank trips. Shore diving and scuba instruction, nitrox photo lab and rental gear available. Excellent guides. Instructor/guide Eric Weber is a frogfish fanatic who keeps a detailed log of sightings - at one point, he had 25 specimens located and was kind enough to put me in front of his favorite. Captain Don's Habitat PO Box 88Bonaire, Netherlands AntillesComments: Excellent orientation and house reef, which kept me busy for two days straight. One-tank boat dives available throughout the day, as well as on select nights. Full-service dive store and UW camera/photo-lab facilities. Nitrox, open-water and scuba/rebreather instruction.
