Buddy Dive Resort

Buddy Dive Resort is Bonaire's most iconic dive operation, pioneering the island's famous unlimited shore diving concept. With a drive-through air and nitrox fill station, divers can load up their truck, drive to any of Bonaire's 86+ marked shore dive sites, and dive as many times as they want, day or night — complete freedom.

Bonaire's entire coastline is a marine park, and the reefs are among the healthiest in the Caribbean thanks to decades of protection. Shore entries are easy — most sites involve walking from the road into the water over a short stretch of coral rubble, then dropping onto pristine reef. Marine life includes seahorses, frogfish, octopus, turtles, spotted eagle rays, and the occasional dolphin. The house reef directly in front of the resort is one of the island's best sites.

The resort offers PADI courses in four languages, boat dives for those wanting deeper or more remote sites, and specialised photography workshops taking advantage of Bonaire's exceptional macro subjects and clear water. All-inclusive dive packages include accommodation, meals, unlimited shore diving, and truck rental.
