A dive vacation with NO schedule unless you want one with as much or as little diving as you like.

Bonaire is located just north of Venezuela in the southern Caribbean. The Dutch Caribbean island Bonaire has protected its marine resources for more than 35 years. Because of this, marine life abounds with more than 470 fish species found in Bonaire’s waters. Famed as one of the best Caribbean dive destinations, Bonaire hosts amazing coral reefs and long forgotten shipwrecks. Because the island’s dive sites are protected from any currents, this is one of the best places in the world to dive.

It’s hard to think of a place that makes the dive life look better than Bonaire. Pick almost any section of the island and there’s somewhere to submerge — almost all of it accessible 24/7, thanks to the island’s place as the world’s premier shore-diving location. And scooting around between dives in your rental truck, getting to know the donkeys, flamingos, cactuses and the overall Wild West landscape — all long-protected by one of the strongest traditions of environmental conservation in the Caribbean — will make you feel like a teenager again.

Bonaire boasts over 60 marked shore dives — all this on an island of only a little more than 100 square miles.  Entry points range in difficulty from easy Salt Pier to more-rugged — but worth it — entries like La Dania’s Leap in the north.  It’s easy to find the entrances to Bonaire’s many shore dives, even if you’ve never been to the island before. Each is marked with a good-size stone painted yellow, with the dive-site name printed in black — a uniquely Bonairean system that makes navigation a cinch.

Sea conditions in Bonaire are mostly steady and calm with sea temperatures at 84°F and air temperatures approximately 89°F.

It is mandatory to print your proof of purchase of your STINAPA Nature Fee and present it to the dive shop along with your C-card and legal photo ID such as your passport.  The dive shop will not be able to check you in and allow you to dive without payment proof. You also need this proof of payment to enter the National Park.  If you forgot to purchase your online tag, you may be able to purchase it online at the resort, however we recommend you do so in advance.  If you fail to provide proof of payment, an administrative fee may apply for retrieving that info from Stinapa.
