Bonaire in the Dutch Caribbean has been long time known as a prime destination for Scuba Divers and Snorkelers.  Its pristine waters and the conservation efforts (marine park since 1979) feature a healthy and fun reef for everybody to learn and enjoy.

Rich in Bio-diversity is home of more than 60 different types of soft and hard corals, as well as more than 350 fish species.  Adult Sea turtles come here to nest from approximately may until january and juveniles are often spotted.  Sharks and rays are also living on the park and are commonly seeing in various areas and dive sites.  Lucky divers and snorkelers can also be greeted by marine mammals such as dolphins or even whales that pass by along the island’s coast.

With more than 100 dive sites to choose from (Official and un-official) it can be challenging for divers and snorkelers to choose and get the best out of their dives.

Private Guiding

Private Guides are becoming more popular among Bonaire’s certified scuba divers. Although Bonaire is known as the “Diver’s Paradise” due to it’s freedom in the way that you can just take a car, some gear and walk out of the beach to scuba dive very few know is that logistics involved can be challenging.

Having somebody taking care of planning and logistics (picking up tanks, gear, checking conditions, surface intervals, etc…) will allow you to relax and enjoy your dives while still maximising the outcome.

Finding special creatures (frogfish, seahorses, turtles, rays, etc.) requires not only skills but also knowledge and constant diving of the area. Private guides are constantly in the water during the year and share with other schools and guides their knowledge to be able to assist customers in more quality dives.

For certified divers that have not been diving for a while and are a little rusty on their skills the assistance of a Private Guide can be of great help, reducing anxiety and more important increasing safety along your dives.

Discover unoficial sites, take advantage of your Private Guide and explore some of the sites you have not been able to venture on your own. Whether it is west or on the wild east the possibilities are endless.
