The Shore Diving Capital of the World
Known as the shore diving capital of the world and one of the most pristine aquatic environments remaining, Bonaire is a must-visit dive destination. Home to the first Caribbean island marine park (created in 1962), Bonaire has 88 marked dive sites filled with incredible aquatic life — including more than 57 species of coral and more than 350 species of fish.
We will be staying at Buddy Dive Resort, one of Bonaire’s premier dive resorts. Our diving for the week will include twelve boat dives and several planned shore dives, including at least two night dives from shore.
