This dive operation seems like they are going out of business soon. Many tanks had bad O rings, and 2800PSI. One of the ladies there ( I didn,t get her name ) was rude. Do yourself a favor,and dive with a better dive operation like Buddy Dive or Wanna Dive, etc.. More

Jerry C Ligon is a biologist who offers classes in marine biology, followed by a great dive. He also gives bird walks. Recently I went on one of the bird walk with him and 2 other birders. We started out at 7:30 am and finished at about 12:30, all for for only $54! He took us in a van all... More

We have used Bonaire Dive and Adventures (BDA) four times in the past five years – in spite of the presence and policies of the owner, Andre. First, the good: We love diving Bari Reef, especially if we’re feeling tired or lazy. And the BDA dock is great – the tanks are right there and you take a giant stride... More

This year I was finally able to participate in the Fourth Annual Fish ID Course last fall when I flew to Bonaire for the first week of the 2 week event, (which repeats the second week). Jointly sponsored by Sand Dollar Condominium Resort (see Trip Advisor) and Bonaire Dive & Adventure (www.bonairediveandadventure.com), Patti and Scott Chandler (fishid@gmail.com) who publish the...

We stayed for the 2nd time at Den Leman and used BDA for our shore diving needs for 2 weeks (Nov. 19-Dec. 3) and were very pleased with the 24 hour access to tanks, the always plentiful Notrox tanks and the upkeep of the operation. When we got there, they were replacing a large palapa that provides shade to the... More

This was our first trip to Bonaire and our first dive trip. The setup at BDA is really streamlined. The gear locker, tank storage (2 locations), drive up service, and dock are pitch perfect. We really enjoyed the Dive with Naturalist course - this is a must do! There were some staff members that were really excellent (Travis, Annie, Jerry,... More

My wife and I keep returning to Bonaire Dive and Adventure since 2008. The proximity of the dive shop to the apartment we rent, the availability of tanks both by the water and by the parking lot, and the quality of the house reef, make BDA a superb dive shop. The shop's dive masters and staff are very nice and... More

This was our first time to Bonaire, and we did a lot of research first. We had not been diving a lot in the past, and location and amenities were important to us. There are lots of good things about BDA - Bari Reef is spectacular, the equipment they rent is good, and you can access the facilities 24 hours... More

Dove with BDA in August 2009 and was very happy - was back for 2 weeks in July 2011. They provide a locker room for all your gear so nothing to haul back to your condo/room. You can dive off their dock onto Bari reef, catch a boat 2 or 3 times a day, or back up your vehicle to... More
