"Avelo is Amazing”
My dive buddy and I took the Avelo certification course (RAD) with Dive Friends last week in Bonaire. Our instructor Duncan was professional, kind, patient and friendly. To say that we enjoyed Avelo would be an understatement. It's amazing technology that makes every aspect of diving safer and much more enjoyable. I've never taken more than one dive trip a year, but Avelo makes diving so much better I foresee wanting to go more frequently. Thank you Duncan and Dive Friends for making RAD available.

"Once in a lifetime dive with Dive Friends."
We did 3 days of boat dives and 2 night dives with DF and it was an incredible experience. Saw so many amazing creatures on our dives octopus, turtles, eels but the highlight was the giant pod of Dolphins. Denise was fantastic helping me with tricks on my buoyancy to lighten my weight belt getting me down 8 pounds by the end of the week. Liam and Andy were incredible spotting out all the little creatures. Shore diving in Bonaire is great but as some of the entries are more challenging I can't recommend the boat dives enough plus you can go to sites that you can not by shore and Klein is where the best dives here in my opinion.

"Dolphins”
We had an absolutely incredible experience with Dive Friends Bonaire!
From the moment we arrived, Andy,
Liam, and Denise made us feel welcome and completely at ease. They are not only friendly but incredibly knowledgeable about Bonaire's dive sites, marine life, and safety - which made every single dive unforgettable. Over the course of our trip, we saw dolphins, sea turtles, eagle rays, an octopus, and countless little creatures that the team was amazing at pointing out. Their sharp eyes and passion for the ocean...
