     Come join us,  and see why we just can't get enough of this "Scuba Divers Paradise" (as their license plates attest).   This will be our 5th annual excursion to the Island that Scuba Divers and Windsurfers flock too, and for good reason..

   Bonaire's pristine reefs and diverse marine life are

unique to the Caribbean. Because the waters around

Bonaire are designated as an official marine

park, diving Bonaire is

untouched and unspoiled. The

Island’s location in the south

Caribbean gives it an arid climate

with little rainfall; consequently, the

waters are exceptionally clear and dive-

able year round.  Bonaire is the ideal

destination for underwater

photographers. Water temperatures

average a warm 81°F with visibility averaging over 100 feet

 

 

 Bonaire’s coast line features 60 land accessible dive sites, while Klein Bonaire adds another 26 boat dives to your choice of underwater tours.
