We are a group of 6 experienced divers on our annual dive trip (this is our 3rd trip to Bonaire in 11 years). After researching dive shops, we... read more selected Dive Friends again. The staff was very responsive to questions before our trip. We stayed in a Villa, not on a resort. Dive Friends staff never treated us any different than the resort guests. We always had tanks available, properly filled with Nitrox. With all the locations, it was easy to exchange tanks during the day as we traveled up and down the coast. Although all the staff was great, I want to give a special thanks to Famlie and Monique at Hamlet Ossais Dive Center. They were very friendly and helpful. Plus, they always wanted to hear about our diving. We did all shore diving and had our own equipment. Although we did not take any of their boat trips, I would have no reservations to use any of Dive Friends services and equipment in the future.

  We told Daniel that we wantend to book a refresh because I had sufferd from Long Covid. He took our money and credit card deposit. Ather the pay he then... read more informerd me I needed a doctors approval because that are the new rules. I already told him by booking I did not have one, I only spoke to a dokter. So now I can’t dive and have to wait to get 2-3 days to get my money back and have a 2 week deposit on my card. Bad service, bad info, never book there, they only care about money clearly. Ow and yes Daniel I have the right to take I out on you, you inform us wrongly, while I have been clear from the start.

  The people who work at the diver shop are awesome! Delightful, helpful and will give you VIP service (unlike the dive shop with that word in its name) - help... read more you get all your gear ready for the dive and it's a quick walk down to the beach. Bari beach (which is near Sand Dollar condominiums (or resort, I'm not sure which is the name). Bari is listed in all the tour books as the best dive area in Bonaire. It didn't disappoint! I'd say that there are a lot of great beaches to shore dive, but I'd go back here in a heartbeat.

  I got certified to dive through this location and it was top tier! They are right on the ocean, so we just walked right into the water to do our... read more training. Shore diving on Bonaire is the best way to get scuba certified and divefriends was so fun and educational. I learned a ton and had a blast. Our dive master, divinia, truly made the experience amazing.

  Booked a 2 tank dive with Dive Friends coming off a cruise ship. Set it all up, paid for the dive (in advance, not a real fan of but... read more it worked out) and WHAM the ship we were on was not allowed to dock at Bonaire because of COVID. The ship was able to email Dive Friends and they were extremely understanding, cooperative and agreeable to a refund of the dive fee, though they did keep the $12 processing fee, which I was more than happy with. Overall they were excellent to work with, responded quickly, and did everything right. When we get to Bonaire Dive Friends is our dive shop of choice.
