7 insider services you didn’t know we offer
1) Moon‑timed ostracod night dives (and how to see them)
Delfins partners with Dive Friends Bonaire—our on‑site dive center—to arrange small‑group guided night dives precisely timed to the lunar cycle so you can witness the mesmerizing ostracod light display that occurs a few days after each full or new moon. The concierge will help you:
- Check upcoming windows for optimal viewing and secure your dive spot.
- Coordinate with the dive team on meeting times and required experience.
- Understand important etiquette: the phenomenon requires complete darkness; dive lights remain off during the display, and flashing lights should be avoided.
Good to know:
- Night diving is intended for experienced divers.
- You can sometimes spot the ostracod glow while snorkeling over shallow, healthy reefs when conditions are ideal.

- Line up on‑site snorkeling or scuba with the dive center.
- Recommend best entry points from the pier and share safety notes.
