Bonaire, a relatively small island just north of Venezuela, has a well-established reputation for delivering some of the Caribbean’s best scuba diving. Ultimate Dive team members have dived Bonaire, and we can attest that Bonaire scuba diving lives up to its reputation as “A Diver’s Paradise.” It even says that on their license plates – not that you’ll want to spend much time on land with an easily accessible coral reef system!

Located outside of the Hurricane belt, scuba diving in Bonaire is possible year round.  Water temperatures are consistently between 78-84 degrees, and the visibility is fantastic. Bonaire truly boasts some of the best year round Bonaire scuba diving conditions in the Caribbean.

There are more than 58 named shore dives on Bonaire, coupled with multiple boat diving opportunities. Shore diving offers the ultimate in flexibility. Boat diving eliminates much of the ‘hassle’ of shore diving and can be a better option for the new or inexperienced diver.  Opting for boat diving in Bonaire also allows the opportunity to visit the small of shore island of Klein Bonaire.  For your ultimate dive vacation choose Bonaire scuba diving; you can opt for a resort that offers only shore diving or a combination of boat and shore diving.
