During the past year, Djambo has moved the on-site dive locker and rinse tanks to an area on the property that receives more of Bonaire’s trade wind. The new area will keep you cool before and after your dive as you take care of your gear. Djambo has also built a changing room with a hot water shower which guests can use after checkout. The feature is quite nice if you have a later flight but still want to enjoy the day.
