The Dive Operation We stayed at Buddy Dive based on the reccomendations of many people on our Scuba forum. I will admit that I think this place is HIGHLY overrated. Definately the worst experience of the entire time there was the staff at this place. The front desk was horrible, the rental truck situation was terrible and the Dive shop... more

Great Trip

I travelled to Bonaire with a group of 9 dive friends. We really enjoyed our stay at Buddy Dive. Everthing ready for diving and the dive site at the hotel pier is fantastic! People at hotel is friendly and helpful and solved almost every little problem a group of 10 people had. Internet acess was a little expensive comparing to... more

I returned yesterday from a fantastic dive vacation in Bonaire. My friend & I decided to stay at Buddy Dive for a relaxing week. Not much time to relax (self inflicted) since you can dive several times a day. The home reef was our favorite & we logged 8 dives on Buddy's reef alone. Our first night was spent in... more

We stayed at Buddy Dive for 10 days, and had a great time. This was our first trip to Bonaire, and we will definately go back and most likely stay at Buddy Dive again. Bonaire is pretty casual, and the hotels seem really old and worn, so if you are looking for something really nice and fresh, you probably won't... more

Buddy Dive is perfect for your first dive trip on the island. Rooms are just ok and really pretty standard for the Caribbean. Most divers package includes 1 meal a day, room, diving and truck. The ability to load tanks in the morning and just dive 3-4 different spots on the island is by far the upside to Bonaire. We... more

We arrived on the Red-Eye from Houston. I didn't think we needed to book an extra day to be sure to have access to the room upon arrivial, but next time I might if we take the early flight. Check in was great, the folks really understood what sleepy travels need, coffee and clear simple directions. We had breakfast and... more

We just completed a week at Buddy Dive as part of the Kids Sea Camp. We had a great time. The rooms and pool are in need of some repair, but the service and all of the staff at the dive shop, hotel, and restaurants were outstanding. The food was very good (all inclusive as part of the camp). We... more

We stayed at a dive hotel, but we didn't dive. Only snorkling and driving around the island. When we arrrived at Buddy Dive, we didn't get the room we had booked. They said this IS better ( oke we got more space , but we didn't need 2 kitchens ), but that's only what they think. The terrace was dark,... more

The arrival was early and the introduction at Buddy Dive was very early. The front desk persons on our arrival did not appear to have it together and we finally did get to the room. Did not remember half of the talk given by Martin because we were so tired. The room was ready early and except for they stairs... more

First stay to Bonaire and stayed 1 week before flying off to Curacao for a further week. Bonaire is wonderful so relaxing. Bonaire only really has diving and snorkelling to offer although there is a National Park to the north of the Island which is well worth a visit. There is ability to dive in the National Park at the... more
