Dive Light, Explore More: On‑Site Diving Made Easy
With an on‑site dive center operated by Dive Friends Bonaire, you’re steps from Bonaire’s legendary underwater world—home to more than 85 easily accessible reef sites.
- Guided night dives timed to the lunar cycle let experienced divers witness the ostracod bioluminescent display. The optimal window is typically 3–4 days after a full moon or up to 2 days after a new moon, beginning around 45 minutes after sunset. The show peaks for about 20 minutes before fading.
- Small groups (max six divers per guide) keep the experience intimate and well‑organized.
- Dive gear storage lockers on site make post‑dive logistics effortless.
- Responsible viewing guidelines: during an ostracod dive, keep dive lights off and avoid flashing lights to preserve natural behavior. Night dives are intended for experienced divers.
Prefer to stay near the surface? Under the right conditions, the ostracod display can sometimes be observed while snorkeling over shallow, healthy reefs.
Eat, Drink, and Skip the Kitchen Kit
With multiple dining venues on property, you can leave travel cookware and supplies at home.
- Restaurants and outlets include Brass Boer, Café Koló, Club Tropicana BBQ at the Beach, Club Tropicana Beach Brasserie, Fresku, and Delfins Boulevard.
- Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten‑free options are available.
- On‑site coffee shop/café for light bites and specialty drinks.
