Join Key Largo Dive Center’s Dive Travel Group on an exciting Dive Adventure to Bonaire. We will be staying at the Buddy Dive Resort. This is a Drive & Dive package which includes a one-bedroom apartment at the resort, one pickup truck per room, and unlimited air. Trip dates are March 8-15, 2025.
For those not familiar with Bonaire, it is famous for its quality shore diving. The reefs butt up against the shoreline and most sites feature easy entry. You load a few tanks per diver into the pickup and head out to dive. Follow the main road around the island, North or South. Dive sites are marked by yellow painted stones with the name of the dive site. You pull into the parking area and back up right to the water’s edge. Sit on the tailgate and gear-up. Take a few steps and you’re in the water. In many cases the optional dive boats are literally a stone’s throw from your truck. After you’ve used up your tanks just drive through their air station, drop off your used tanks, grab some fresh tanks, and head out to dive again. You can dive as much or as often as you wish. There is no boat schedule to worry about. Bonaire offers the most diving per dollar than many locations. Limited number of rooms available on first come – first confirmed.
Although you have the freedom to dive on your own schedule, our trip leader will distribute a tentative dive and training schedule for those who wish to join in on a group dive with a KLDC staff guide who is familiar with the local reefs and wrecks.
