Bonaire is home to some of the best shore diving, underwater photography, and best underwater visibility. The Bonaire Marine Park is a popular choice for divers. Guests must first register at the dive center and bring their dive certification card, diving vouchers, credit card for security deposit, and purchase the Bonaire Marine Park tag. The Dive Friends Bonaire dive shop will hold an orientation for guests before they attend the park. Their boat leaves the dock at 9:00 am for two-tank dives and return around 1:00 pm. Boats leave again at 2:00 pm for a one-tank afternoon dive with a minimum of six divers. Gear storage is available in the dive shop and guests can upgrade to Nitrox with any prepaid dive package.

When guests are not diving, there are many activities available including kayaking, mountain biking, bird watching, cave exploration, snorkeling, windsurfing, kiteboarding, hiking, and sightseeing tours. The Breezes N’ Bites Restaurant is located on the waterfront and serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Dinner on Tuesday is BBQ night and Friday nights feature steak and fish. The restaurant is closed on Wednesdays except for breakfast for guests with a prepaid package.

Dive Conditions

Bonaire is an ideal destination for underwater photographers. Water temperatures average a warm 78-84°F (25.6-28.9°C), with visibility averaging over 100 feet (30m), and occasionally reaching up to 150 feet (50m). Water temperatures do vary widely by season and location.

Scuba diving in Bonaire means three things: easy shore diving, low cost, and a strong diving infrastructure. It has over 60 dive sites all easily accessible by shore. Divers can see colorful large sponges and sea fans while diving Bonaire, as well as explore quite a few shipwrecks, and encounter various marine life like turtles, barracudas and groupers. Angelfish, butterflyfish, seahorses, crabs, and shrimps can also be seen. Often referred to as the shore diving capital of the world, the dive sites in Bonaire are clearly marked and easily identifiable. The reef is only a short swim from shore and in pristine condition due to many decades of protection. Driving from one dive site to the next is a breeze with one main road running the length of the island.

Bonaire diving conditions are usually good year-round. Although Bonaire has a reputation for having great weather all year, the hurricane season is between June and November. And technically below the hurricane belt, the island has had its share of odd storms and received significant damage in 2008 from Hurricane Omar. Some drivers have said that some shallow reefs sustained damage from that Hurricane, but not the deeper reef areas.

Water Temperatures range from 80 to 86 F (27 to 30 C). The warmest water is in August / September. Visibility averages 40-100 feet (12-30M) but occasionally drops down to less. It can easily be over 100ft (30m) at Klein Bonaire.
