Bespoke Journeys makes diving as a group easy!
Bonaire is without question one of the best diving locations in the world. Outside the hurricane belt with minimal annual rainfall, temperatures typically 85F daily provide 365 days suitable for diving. When you combine that with spectacular marine life and a well-preserved reef system almost at the shoreline, you have fantastic diving conditions in warm, clear, visible waters. So, it is no surprise Bonaire is a mecca for divers of all skill levels, from beginner to technical diving.
Why would you go diving in a group?
Many visitors come to Bonaire to dive, including groups. Diving in a group with like-minded individuals sharing a common interest is a great way to spend your days. Then spend your evenings dining on Bonaire’s many cuisine options, sipping a cool drink, and watching the sunset. Bliss!
Bonaire accommodation options.
There are several accommodation options available on Bonaire, including resorts, hotels, and villas. You will find options within these accommodation choices to suit your group. Bespoke Journeys Travel Specialists recommend inclusive resort packages for diving for the best value. These dive packages offer resort accommodation, truck rental, and unlimited diving.
Can children be part of the group?
Children under ten years of age cannot dive and will require supervision. Children ten years and over can participate in diving activities appropriate for their skill levels.
What package would you recommend for a group?
Bonaire is a fantastic place to do shore diving, so it is a good idea to combine that with some boat diving. Bespoke Journeys recommend unlimited shore diving, a couple of boat dives, and truck rental in the dive package. More boat diving can be arranged depending on the requirements.
How do you get around with a large group?
You drive yourself in the truck rental. Bespoke Journeys ensure enough trucks are available to cater to your group size. It is easy to drive on Bonaire. More information about driving on Bonaire can be found here.
Is it expensive to book as a group?
Group bookings get preferred booking rates. This is a very cost-effective way to dive on Bonaire.
When is a good time to dive on Bonaire?
Bonaire is a year-round diving destination because of the fantastic weather and being outside the hurricane belt. For the best diving prices, it’s less expensive to visit in the low season, which is mid-June to mid-December.
How far in advance do you need to book?
Bonaire is a popular diving destination, and accommodation books up quickly, so the earlier you secure your booking, the better. Early birds get the best accommodation options.
Can you eat at restaurants as a group?
Yes, any restaurant on Bonaire can cater to group bookings. It just needs to be planned and booked in advance. The cuisine options on Bonaire are wide, varied, and very delicious.
What are your top recommendations for non-diving activities?
There are many things to do on Bonaire that are unrelated to diving. Here are some of our favorites:
- Snorkeling
- Enjoying an evening catamaran cruise for a sunset dinner
- Lunch at Lac Bay (Sorobon)
- Landsailing
- A visit to Klein Bonaire beach
Can you book everything we need for a group booking?
Yes! When Bespoke Journeys books for their clients, they can organize every aspect of your trip because they are based on Bonaire. This includes flights, accommodation, diving, rental car/truck, and activities. They can even get you a local tuna for your dinner, pre-delivered groceries, and restaurant reservations.
