Dive Friends Bonaire

Dive Friends Bonaire is the island's largest dive operation, with five locations spread along Bonaire's western coast providing convenient access to dozens of shore dive sites. The operation offers the same unlimited shore diving freedom that makes Bonaire unique — tank fills, truck rental, and dive-at-your-own-pace independence.

Each Dive Friends location has its own house reef, meaning guests can start diving steps from the shop. The network of locations means you're never far from an air fill, regardless of which part of the island you're exploring. Popular sites accessible from their locations include Something Special, 1000 Steps, and Hilma Hooker — a 72-metre freighter sunk upright at 30 metres, considered one of the Caribbean's best wreck dives.

The operation holds PADI and SSI certifications and offers courses in four languages. Guided dives, boat dives to Klein Bonaire (a pristine uninhabited island), and specialty courses are all available. The team's philosophy emphasises relaxed, self-paced diving — Bonaire's hallmark approach.
