Buddy Dive is simplicity at its finest. It’s a charming resort and very family-friendly. Buddy Dive offers studio rooms, hotel rooms, and 1,2 and 3-bedroom villas with full kitchens. Parents that know Bonaire well like to hang back and enjoy a later breakfast and coffee by the sea, and then, at your leisure, jump off the dock with your dive buddy and kids. Bonaire diving is easy to navigate and even more accessible for daily blowing bubbles. Rated the world’s best shore diving, this island is calm, warm, and clear 12 months a year. We can customize your package to include certification courses, private guides, and shore or boat dives as you desire. We also provided discounted rates for the Buddy Fly and Dive packages, with or without a local guide. Just let us know your needs for your Bonaire diving experience at 1.803.419.2556.
You can go at your own pace daily: no hustle, deadlines, or worries. Buddy Dive has 24-hour diving from shore with some of the best marine life right under the dock and the wall just 20 meters away. There are giant tarpon, schools of silversides, and plenty of angelfish, just waiting to be photographed when you jump in.

Buddy Dive condos are simple and basic. They are perfect for families that come to be outdoors and enjoy the underwater world. Buddy Dive Resort offers studios for a two-person buddy team – a father and son, a couple or mom, and a daughter. For three people, the one bedroom will work; you can add a daybed to the living room if needed. Or you can go with the two bedrooms to give everyone their space. For larger families of 5 and 6, the three bedrooms and three bathrooms are the way to go. Each bedroom can be configured for a king bed or two single beds. The villas are fully furnished with full kitchens and spacious living rooms overlooking the Caribbean Sea.
Take the Buddy Dive Tour
Family Dive Adventures will customize your package to your family’s needs. Mom and Dad can choose to go boat diving while the kids are in SASY, Seal Team, or even taking a JOW class, but parents will have opportunities to dive with their kids as well. If you or the kids are getting certified, we will arrange for PADI eLearning to be done before arrival so you can get the most out of your diving experience on the island. We can arrange for a private instructor to dive with you and your family on the extra days available after certification. See Gallery
Sail, Dive & Dine at Buddy Dive.
Are you seeking a diving experience beyond the incredible shore and boat dives on Bonaire? Look no further. The Sail, Dive & Dine tour combines Buddy Dive’s guided diving with all-inclusive service from Epic Tours, ultimate relaxation, and the luxury of a lunch and 4-course dinner on board a catamaran!
The Sail, Dive & Dine Tour includes:
- 8 Hours of all-inclusive service onboard a 44ft sailing catamaran
- Two guided dives (or guided snorkeling)
- Open bar including ice cold drinks(sodas, beers, wines, prosecco)
- Lunch

During the 8-hour Sail, Dive & Dine tour – from 11 am – to 7 pm – you will make two guided dives in the Marine Park of Bonaire and Klein Bonaire. After the first dive, lunch and drinks are served (remember, no alcoholic beverages before dives). We will smoothly sail toward the next dive spot while you and your buddy gear up for the second guided dive. After the second dive, the boat will moor on a beautiful, sheltered place for ice-cold drinks and downtime on board the catamaran while the crew prepares dinner. The day will end with a 4-course dinner and drinks during one of Bonaire’s famous sunsets.
This is the perfect tour for divers, but spots are also available for the non-divers! During the dives, they can enjoy guided snorkeling.
