Experience Bonaire and Buddy Dive Resort. Buddy’s is an unhurried, unspoiled, and natural paradise that offers spectacular sunsets, gentle breezes, and crystal-clear turquoise waters.
Buddy Dive is a resort where you can dive twenty-four/seven, take part in a multitude of activities, or just sit back, relax, and enjoy the atmosphere.
This place is known for its casual atmosphere, personable staff, spacious accommodations and a dive operation that has it all: comfortable boats, complete rental, retail center, exceptional staff, and a unique “Drive Thru” with air/nitrox fill station. No matter which apartment you relax in, you’re never further than a giant stride away from their popular and lively house reef which is perfect for diving and snorkeling, day and night.
Climb into the rental truck you receive automatically with your Drive & Dive Package, and take advantage of the 60 dive sites, accessible from the shoreline of Bonaire or tour the island with a guide on one of many excursions available to you through the Activity Center.
Divers, snorkelers, adventurers, and leisure travelers will feel equally at home at Buddy Dive. You will want to save plenty of time to relax in a hammock, lounge by one of our three pools, or simply catch some rays or saunter on down to the pool bar for a cocktail before sampling some of the local specialties.
