Whether you are a regular at specific Bonaire dive resorts or new to explore underwater world, you need to choose the best place to make your trip truly memorable. Bonaire is one of the top dive destinations and has received acclamation in many other categories, including underwater photography, shore diving, and marine life. Facing tough competition from the Grand Cayman and Maldives, the dive resorts are screaming to serve divers.

What Makes Them Special?

Bonaire diving resorts would be the perfect choice for accommodation; these resorts do not only have the best information with respect to safety, weather reports, and dive sites, but also give the experts proper facilities to handle their driving gear. There are plenty of rooms, which are safe and secure, and you can leave all items in their storage facilities or in your room. The dive resorts have their own instructors, services, and boats dedicated exclusively for their own visitors. You do not have to worry about appointing separate water transportation and other equipment’s or tools to and from various resources.

Top Amenities

The best resorts come with nicely landscaped compound, well-equipped rooms, and excellent dive packages. The resorts would be fully air-conditioned, providing a greater degree of privacy than regular resorts. There are decent hotels, nice beaches, and room packages with a pickup for those who want to explore the beautiful island.

Have a Blast with Fellow-Divers

Traveling to Bonaire with different groups of divers can make you realize that this resort is the best option; choosing the right operator is also quiet important. Here are few things to consider when you will be diving.

Check the Reputation of Diving Operator and Instructors

Ask the dive operator how long he/she has been in this business and it is better to check the reputation of the diving resort to avoid any problems later on. You can also ask how many boats they have and if there are any backup if something goes wrong in the middle; ask them whether or not they insure when you will be diving. You need to consider the size of the boat and how many people it actually loads.

Don’t Go to Over-Crowded Areas

Most of the big or large sized boats carry more divers and the group would be divided into small crowd and divers would be taken to different areas of the sea. If too many divers (more than 30 or above) are taken into the same spot, you might miss the fun or might not enjoy the complete view.

Other Considerations

Not only the dive operator, but you also should check how reliable and experienced the crew members and captain of the boat are. Not just the years of experience of the dive instructor matters, but also how enthusiastic he is about showing you a good dive. Rather than pointing out critters, he should take part actively in the process and show you few things, which you wouldn’t have found on your own. Not all fast boats mean that they are going to give you a comfortable ride and if you’re taking gadgets or cameras with you, the boats should have some safe and secure place to keep your valuable things. It is better to avoid small boats when carrying cameras.

Before choosing one, it is better to discuss with your experienced diving friend, who can guide you better than anyone else. If he/she has experience with different diving resorts, they will be a great source of good knowledge. You can check online for reviews and other reputable travel agent websites. Never try or opt for a dive instructor, who doesn’t carry O2 on board and the operator should have marine radio and marine pack bracelet. Most resorts come with their own dive shop on site and also have private piers.
