Alex. Kimmie (spouse) says he is AWESOME. I say he is patient, knowledgeable, technical and diver-safety oriented. We took up a specialty course because it was definitely needed by the two of us. Many would say "you don't need that class.. you learn that with more dive hours". I truly believe that is half-truth. You can dive all you want... More

Hi all September 2012 we promissed to come back for a few dives at Bonaire. We came back this year at april and we have no regrets we did.

We went to the Dive-Inn for an introduction dive and it was wonderful!! Our instructor, Jamie, did a great job especially by showing us multiple seahorses!

Cannot say enough about the friendly and professional service and staff from Dive Friends. Not only at Sand Dollar but throughout the Island of Bonaire. Miss my friends Suuz and Liz. The rinse tanks are always clean with fresh water. Air tanks are filled daily - no waiting. Lots of places to allow your gear to dry. Great job Dive... More

This is the place to go to get tanks for diving. They have at least four locations spread across the island of Bonaire and their staff is very friendly and helpful. We think Dive Friend is best suited for shore diving as they had some boat issues. Our first dive boat had engine difficulties while the second boat was rammed... More

With several locations on the island and a great staff taking care of us we had a great week diving in Bonaire. Liz had great suggestions for where to dive for our shore diving and always made sure we had air where we needed it. We stayed at the Sand Dollar resort which is one of the Dive Friends locations....

Convenient locations in Kralendijk plus north and south of town, so you're never far from a location to pick up tanks. Pleasant staff who enjoy diving and are willing to offer suggestions to make your time on Bonaire even better! Large dunk tanks/rinse facilities. Overnight gear storage available at least at some (not sure about all, but at least Yellow... More

Diving on Bonaire is easy going. You pick your own time, choose a divespot and off you go. Dive Friends work at the same pace. Anytime, anywhere you pick up a tank and go... Want to talk about your dive? The staff is listening to you as if it's the first time they hear the story ;-))). great
