Bonaire’s Buddy Dive Resort

Experience Bonaire’s Buddy SCUBA Dive Resort, a relaxing natural paradise offering spectacular sunsets, gentle breezes and crystal-clear, turquoise waters. Buddy Dive Resort not only offers spectacular SCUBA diving, but you can also take part in a multitude of other activities or just sit back, relax and enjoy the atmosphere.

The dive resort is complete with seven modern buildings housing spacious one, two and three bedroom apartments, a full service dive center, activity desk, two swimming pools, restaurant, pool bar, a beach volleyball court, vehicle rentals and the famous drive-thru air and Nitrox fill station. Built with active people in mind, Buddy`s knows exactly what is needed to make guests comfortable both during their busy day of scuba diving and exploring, and after.

Bonaire`s waters offer something special for every diver. Novice divers will appreciate the calm waters, reefs that run parallel to shore, and minimal currents. These conditions make it an ideal location to really work on improving those buoyancy skills! And the abundance of marine life living along the shallow drop-off area of the reef slope allows for maximum bottom time, while giving new divers an opportunity to develop a level of comfort and confidence in their newly learned skills.

Photographers, videographers and fish lovers will delight in the 364 species of fish that can be found in our waters, most of which call Buddy Reef their home. Our lively house reef is just a giant stride away from our dock, and teems with abundant marine life and colorful coral formations, perfect for diving day, night, or the active hours in between.
