Scuba Diving Services

Yes. The dive docks located on our beach extend out almost 30 yards to the famous Calabas reef. Tanks are available on these docks 24 hours a day for shore divers.

Strap on your gear using our custom designed diving benches, then step off into 12’ of crystal clear blue water. The reef quickly drops down to 12’ right in front of the dock. The Calabas Reef is an unspoiled beauty, featuring a wide variety of tube sponges, parrot fish, trumpet fish and anemones.

Yes. We are proud to offer private lockers with wetsuit hangers and plenty of room to store all of your diving gear, so you can access your equipment 24 hours a day! We recommend that you bring your own padlock.

Magical and perfectly safe for experienced divers. Thrill-seekers can dive under the stars right off our docks to swim alongside exotic marine life like octopus, tarpon and brightly colored coral reefs.

Our dive shop has a fleet of five boats, ranging in size from 35’ to 42’ long. Each boat features plenty of shade, ice water, fresh fruit and safety equipment. The tanks are placed in tank holders behind the seats, so putting your gear on is a breeze. 

We have a sign-up board that displays all boat trips, so you can simply choose the boat and destination of your choice.

Absolutely. There are so many spectacular dive spots on Bonaire, so we make an effort to visit them all, including Red Slave on the south side of the island and Rappel on the north side. We also visit the island of Klein Bonaire almost every day. If you have a specific site request, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate you.

It takes about 10-20 minutes to reach most dive sites. If you are staying at Divi Flamingo Beach Resort & Casino, the world-famous Calabas Reef is just steps from your room.

No. Only one boat per dive site is allowed for safety reasons, and to ensure you have plenty of room to explore.

Absolutely! We run a variety of boat trips every day, including single and 2-tank morning trips and single tank afternoon trips.

No. We limit each boat to a maximum of 18 divers for comfort and to ensure better dives for all. There’s plenty of room to walk around, sunbathe and escape the heat under shaded areas of the boat. This also helps make surface time more comfortable for 2-tank dive trips.

For our  2-tank morning boat dive trips, we recommend 45-50 minute bottom times and an average recommended depth of 50′-70′. A surface interval of 30-45 minutes is normal. For the afternoon single boat dive trips, we recommend a similar depth and about an hour bottom time.

Yes. Every dive boat has both a captain and a divemaster. The divemaster will be in the water and will dive with you if you wish. If you want to dive independently with a friend, that’s OK, too, as long as you follow the divemaster’s direction and depth recommendation.

No. All of our boats feature wide swim platforms, which make it easy to enter and exit the boat. For our more macho divers, back rolls are possible off the sides of the boat!

Our dive boats typically sit in 25’ of water, close to shore, with the drop off right behind the boat. When you reach your destination, you will drop down below the boat and follow our divemaster. Dive down to the recommended depth and enjoy exploring Bonaire’s pristine coral reefs. Halfway through your air time or bottom time, or when the divemaster signals it’s time to return, you will turn around and head back toward the boat, ascending throughout the dive. You’ll then spend the last few minutes at the 10′-15′ range checking out the vibrant reef and colorful fish and completing a safety stop.

Absolutely! Most guests like to set up their own gear, but if you need assistance, we are more than happy to help. If you have back problems or have trouble walking with the gear on, we will help you set up and remove your gear at the swim platform.
