Bonaire Shore Diving: Private Guide, Two-Tank Dive

Dive Bonaire's reefs at your own pace with a guide who tailors every site to what you want to see.

A private guided shore dive in Bonaire with a PADI professional who picks you up from your resort at 9am and leads a two-tank dive tailored to your experience level. You choose between air and Nitrox tanks, dive at top-rated sites in the marine park, and get in-water guidance spotting species like frogfish and sea horses. The dive lasts about four hours and includes fresh fruit, snacks, towels and bottled water.

The experience

Your guide handles the logistics so you focus on the reef. Pickup starts at 9am from your resort, and from there the guide manages gear setup, selects dive sites based on the day's conditions and what you want to explore, and stays with you underwater. Bonaire has over 80 shore dive sites. The guide picks the ones that match your interests and your certification level, whether you're building confidence or chasing a specific marine encounter.

The dive itself runs two tanks, and you choose between air and Nitrox before you go. The guide points out frogfish, sea horses and the coral formations that make Bonaire's reefs distinctive, but the pace is yours: no rush, no group dynamics. A surface interval includes fresh fruit and a savory snack. The whole outing takes about four hours from pickup to return.

Bring your own wetsuit and hard-soled dive boots. Tanks, weights, towels and bottled water are provided. An air-conditioned vehicle gets you to the site and back. If you need to rent additional gear beyond tanks and weights, ask the guide when you book.
