There's Something for Every Diver on Bonaire

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. Bonaire's sea abounds with beautiful marine life and a fascinating variety of multi-colored tropical fish. The sea is remarkably calm and conditions are superb for both scuba diving and snorkeling.

Novice divers will appreciate the calm waters, reefs that run parallel to shore, and minimal currents. 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.

On average, Bonaire's visibility exceeds 100 feet and average water temperature is 80 degrees. The fringing reef begins close to the shore, usually a short 30 foot swim or less, making Bonaire world renowned for its ease of shore diving. Bonaire's waters offer something special for every diver.

"“Bon Bini”, that’s “Welcome”, as spoken in Papiamento, the native language of Bonaire. It’s the first words you’ll see once you unboard the plane and approach the friendly customs desk at the Flamingo International Airport in Bonaire. And “WELCOMED” you will be to this tropical dive paradise.

You are now on island time. Time, to relax, no worries. Time, to enjoy sunny days on land, and in water. Time, to see nature’s gifts in its many splendored forms and colors, big and small. Time, to relish the tropical breezes under moonlit skies as you wait for that shooting star. Island time on Bonaire. Come experience this paradise, again and again.

I'll personally make sure you have the opportunity to earn a lot of dive specialties, if you desire, or I'll just make sure you end up wanting to do more trips to Bonaire with me in the future.(It's already planned!)

Given the affordable airfare currently available from Charlotte (see the next section below), plus the special pricing on this trip already noted above, I expect this trip to sell out quickly. I hope you'll join us, but please SIGN UP ASAP so we don't all end up disappointed."

And Louie's Co-Tour Leader and Gypsy Dive Instructor Linda Offers these thoughts:

Welcome to Bonaire! I look forward to sharing the dive experience of a lifetime with you in the waters surrounding this beautiful island. You will have the opportunity to experience world class diving and may dive as little or as much as you like. That’s the beauty of this trip – great flexibility in a laid back atmosphere.

On a personal note, my mission is to find a seahorse, as I’ve never seen one in the wild. I’m told they are plentiful on Bonaire. So, join us in finding some of these beauties! And, remember, you’ll be in the islands, “Mon”! Let’s relax and make some great memories.

Trip price does NOT include airfare, marine park fee, vehicle insurance, or departure tax. Trip price is based on sextuple occupancy in 3-bedroom condo units with full kitchens.
