Company description At Sand Dollar we offer Boat Diving.
For a change of pace, divers can let someone else do the driving while they enjoy the short 10 to 15 minute ride to one of the sites generally not accessible from shore, such as those on the northern coastline or those surrounding nearby Klein Bonaire.
Bonaire Dive & Adventures experienced, friendly dive staff are ready to lead you on boat dives three times daily.
As a participating REEF Field ID Station, Bonaire Dive & Adventure offers beginning through advanced fish identification courses, organizes survey dives, and sells related fish watching materials. It also serves as a distribution point for fish survey forms, and actively recruits new fish- enthusiast members! You can also undertake the challenge of becoming a member of the dive shops ``Century Club`` by identifying 100 different species of fish on a single one-tank dive!
What could be better than learning how to dive in warm clear water under the careful guidance of our experienced PADI dive instructors? Add to the near 100 foot visibility a reef that runs parallel to shore
for easy navigation, our minimal to non-existent currents, and you have an ideal environment in which to learn or perfect your diving and buoyancy skills.
Advanced divers will be inspired by the respect for diving freedom that pervades Bonaire, while still having the opportunity to continue their diving education via advanced course with Bonaire Dive & Adventure`s multilingual instructors. For all courses - Open Water through Assistant Instructor, advanced PADI specialties, Enriched Air (Nitrox) or even Rebreather Certification - the staff is dedicated to making your diving education and diving experiences memorable.
Bonaire Dive & Adventure`s retail shop features dive equipment for rent or sale, colorful t-shirts and bathing suits, informative books and unique gifts.
The retail shop is also the place to sign up for the many outdoor eco-adventure programs offered such as kayaking, snorkeling, biking, hiking and nature tours.
Location description: Several factors combine to offer Bonaire visitors shore diving opportunities unlike any found elsewhere in the Caribbean.
One is the sheer number of shore dive sites available. With over 50 marked sites, and any number of easily accessible unmarked entry points to chose from, divers will run out of vacation time long before they run out of diving options.
Bonaire`s calm west coast waters make entering the water for your dive safe and easy. And with a fringing reef no more than a 50 yards/meters off shore, surface swims are kept to a minimum. Freedom loving divers are sure to enjoy the unlimited shore diving packages we offer with Bonaire Dive & Adventure, which enable you to make as many dives as you wish each day according to your own safe profiles. The drive-up air and Nitrox tank station makes for easy loading and unloading for shore diving off property.
In addition to the drive-up tank fill station, there is a second fill station with 24 hour tank access right on the dive dock, along with convenient dive lockers and benches for gear set-up. Divers can enter the water to dive Bari Reef one of three ways - a giant stride off the pier, by walking down a sturdy ladder, or entering the water gradually from the small sand beach area adjacent to the pier.
In the most recent Survey Project Statistics generated by REEF (the Reef Environmental Education Foundation), Bonaire claimed 7 of the top 10 dive sites surveyed in terms of species richness, with Sand Dollar`s Bari Reef ranking #1 in the entire Caribbean.
With over 315 species of fish on house reef Bari Reef to choose from, there is no better location to test your fish ID knowledge. Secretary blenny`s peeking out of abandoned worm holes, 3 species of shrimp inhabiting one anemone, sea horses and long lure frog fish, are considered common sightings in our waters.
Bonaire set the standard in reef conservation more than 25 years ago when it instituted one of the first permanent mooring systems, prohibited anchoring of boats, and designated all of Bonaire`s waters down to the 200 foot depth an official marine park.
Since early in the 1990`s, the Bonaire Marine Park has required all visiting divers to purchase a Marine Park Tag ($25) and to participate in a short information and orientation session at whichever dive facility they will be using. At Bonaire Dive & Adventure, this program is held at 9:30 am daily.
Divers must do a familiarization dive on the house reef as part of the orientation process before they can leave on their own to shore dive or go out on a dive boat. The primary reason for this familiarization dive is to recheck buoyancy to avoid any potential damage to the reef and also to ensure that dive equipment is functioning properly.
