Excellent experience all around. We did the 6 day unlimited NITROX option and it was seamless. We reserved ahead of time, quick paperwork and paid the marine park fee, then a buoyancy check and began diving. The Cliff is a great site for a first dive there. We used 3 other DFB locations during our stay and had the same experience at all of them. Fast and reliable. Special thanks to Karl (?) at the HO location. We will definitely be back.

Very competent staff and a good dive experience. Dive Friends provided everything we needed. We arrived on a cruise line and they were super close to the cruise terminal. They also have a board to list yourself if you need a dive buddy.

Lots of inventory.

We greatly enjoyed our snorkeling excursion to Klein Bonaire. The excursion was very well organized and the staff were super friendly.

Dive Friends Bonaire was amazing. Before our trip we emailed several asking for information. They quickly responded each time answering our questions and making recommendations. This was our first trip to Bonaire. When we arrived we went to the Hamlet Oasis location. Once there Jack got us signed in, told us about the different choices for renting tanks, and gave us our orientation dive. Three in our group chose 6 days of unlimited tanks and two of us chose to rent tanks daily. Throughout our week's vacation Jack gave us good recommendations for dive sites and places to go on Bonaire. Having the various locations to exchange tanks was a huge benefit. The retail shop had lots of equipment and some excellent deals. When we return to Bonaire for our next scuba diving vacation we will definitely use Dive Friends Bonaire again. I recommend them without hesitation. Thanks Dive Friends Bonaire and especially Jack!

Diving in Bonaire is already a magical experience, but the exceptional service provided by Dive Friends and the personal touch from Gareth made it truly unforgettable. If you are looking to learn to dive or just planning your next dive trip, Dive Friends Bonaire is the place to go. I can't wait to book my next trip.

Super friendly and knowledgeable people here. Dave was our guide and was very helpful showing us the reef and pointing out many interesting fish etc. I definitely am planning to go back. I think Rachael? was the person that initially helped us. Very nice- let us hang out as our cruise ship got in later so we missed the am dive.

I took the 2-day Avelo RAD course with Koa. He was a knowledgeable instructor, taking us through the theory and practical aspects of using the Avelo system The 2 open water dives took us through a series of drills and unstructured diving. This was very helpful to gain comfort and competence in using Avelo to achieve neutral buoyancy and expore the amazing range of neutral buoyancy when you have a very small "air bubble". The drills also took us through failure scenarios to demonstrate they are not emergencies: you can end a dive and safely ascend. I dove at several sites with Koa on the second day. He was a gracious Divemaster, and shared tips and corrections that are helpful. Thanks for the great dives Koa! Fins up! Mike Wyz

Two great dives today. Took the big boat out of Port, top notch boat. Staff was energetic and attentive. Great time had by all, safety was #1 topic followed by having fun. The Grinch made a special appearance, who has a picture? Definitely recommend, great crew! Found some pics, thanks Jeff!

Took my grandson, daughter, and son-in-law on a Discover SCUBA - what a great experience. Next day, I took my younger grandson (8 years old) on a Bubblemaker. Chris (the instructor) was fantastic. What a great experience. My grandson wants to learn to dive now. I don't think ge could have had a better experience. Thank you Dive Friends.

We had a fabulous experience with Dive Friends, and Rachela was an outstanding guide. We did two shore dives, and I was honestly nervous about the beach entries—I can trip on air over flat ground—but Rachela put me at ease. She took the time to show us the best and safest ways to get in and out of the water, which made a huge difference in my comfort and confidence. Beyond that, she was an excellent guide underwater, attentive, knowledgeable, and clearly focused on taking great care of us. As cruise travelers, we also really appreciated how easy the location was to find, making the logistics simple and stress-free from the start. From start to finish, the dives were smooth, well-run, and enjoyable. I wouldn’t hesitate to dive with Dive Friends again, and I highly recommend Rachela if you have the chance.

Great help, got new dive fins and boots. Very helpful and friendly staff.

I arrived in Bonaire on Christmas Eve. Dive Shop at my hotel was closed so I couldn't get weights. I desperately wanted to do a night shore dive. And these guys were open for 20 more minutes. I raced to their shop prepared to spend 6$ per pound on weights. They said "Don't be ridiculous. You can borrow the weights, just bring them back." And I proceeded to have an amazing night dive. Thanks so much.

If i could give them a 6th star i would. Amazing staff Chris and Rochella were great dive masters. The whole place was great service, great people, and great diving. If i come back to bonaire i will 100% be going back here.

My husband and I did our check out dives here with Peter and a trainee (I believe her name was Angelica?…I’m terrible at names). We had a great experience. My husband has a bad back and they couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating helping him with his gear so he could put it on in the water. Its been 6 months since my last dive and Angelica was so very friendly and made sure I didn’t forget anything which I very much appreciated and it made for a stress free experience. Peter brought his sage wisdom and calm that comes from decades of experience which set a good vibe for the dives. Would definitely recommend!

My husband and I had a wonderful day diving a 2 tank boat dive with them. The whole crew was super friendly and fantastic. We had kids on our trip and one of the dive masters was showing them card magic tricks underwater. Which was awesome. Drew lead our first dive and was super friendly, professional and was helpful with ideas when I asked him his thoughts on a couple of issues I was having. It was a beautiful, relaxed, dive. Everything was done professionally and the boat is very comfortable and well kept. Definitely will recommend and we are looking forward to our next dive tomorrow!

Visiting my sister in Bonaire, I brought an OLD mask that just didn't fit right around my nose anymore. Went here and immediately had help fitting a new mask. The young lady that helped me was knowledgeable and very friendly. Took the new mask out to try the next day and unfortunately it leaked. Even worse, I lost the receipt. The next day, the same lady helped me. She tested for a leak and found it. Swapped out my mask without issue. Can't recommend this place enough. Bonaire has some of the friendliest people I've met.

The crew is always friendly and willing to visit if it is not busy. Tanks are easy to get. The drive thru is awesome.

We knew what we wanted: a guided dive at Salt pier. Dive Friends made that possible. We had a great dive with Duncan. Everything went super smooth.

Dave and John made my first scuba diving experience an amazing and memorable time!

Dave and Chris were awesome!! Inexpensive way to snorkel on Bonaire. Thanks guys.

We had an incredible time diving with Dive Friends Bonaire on our recent trip. Two of my friends completed their Open Water certifications, while another friend and I did our Advanced, and the whole experience was absolutely top-notch. From the moment we checked in, the staff made everything smooth and enjoyable. Everyone was super friendly, funny, and welcoming. Special shoutout to Joe, who took great care of us during check-in and set the tone for the rest of our week. Our instructor, Koa, was outstanding. He’s extremely knowledgeable and, being a local, he knows every corner of the island and exactly where the best learning conditions are. Above all, he’s just an awesome guy - funny, smart, and incredibly experienced. Underwater he is calm, serious, and always making sure you feel safe and comfortable. His instructions were crystal clear, and I felt fully confident diving deeper and trying new skills with him guiding us. Couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. After our certifications, we rented gear for our own dives, and the process was super convenient. With multiple locations around the island, it was easy to pick up tanks at one shop and drop them off at another. Big plus! Koa also shared great tips on the best dive spots for our personal dives and even explained the easiest entries at each site. Those recommendations made our shore dives so much better. Overall, we had an amazing experience with Dive Friends Bonaire. If you’re thinking about diving in Bonaire - whether learning or exploring - I can’t recommend them enough! 🐠💙

Amazingly convenient if you happen to stay in the Hamlet Oasis, but even if you don't, I highly recommend Cliff dive site for a night dive. Jack, who got us all set up and checked out for Bonaire diving, has the right attitude, great sense of humor, and boy -- the man can tell some wonderfully amusing stories. Gotta love him! Jack, 🍻 cheers to you!

We did an Avelo training with Koa and it was both educational and super duper fun. I give the highest marks to our trainer Koa! The man has an excellent base of knowledge, positive attitude, and a quick, light-hearted sense of humor. One recommendation to Dive Friends is for the rest of the staff to learn from Koa, let the knowledge flow.

Very helpful and the multiple locations across the island are super convenient for divers who are making the rounds of shore diving everywhere. Good tank fills, especially at yellow Sub.

Went for a guided dive with Charlie, excellent dive shop, Charlie the guide was enthusiastic and made the experience very enjoyable.

Sandra and Andy were entertaining , helpful and “aim to please”. Had a great time!

I visited this shop on recommendation from one of my tour guides after the mask I brought with me failed. This shop is well stocked and the staff were friendly and very helpful from the moment I walked in. After I explained what I needed I was taken the mask wall display to start testing. After a few tries we found a Scuba Pro that fit perfectly. The price was very reasonable and close to what I would have paid at any online store. The location was only a few minutes walk from my hotel and I was happy not to have to go all the way into town in that heat. If you're in Bonaire and you want to upgrade from your casual gear, this is the store you need!

Constance is such a great instructor - we had an amazing time getting our PADI this summer! 🤙🏻

Great training on the Avelo dive system from Duncan! Dive shop very accommodating with my schedule, very much appreciated.

Afgelopen week de zeer interessante cursus reef renewal diver gevolgd bij Davide. Veel geleerd over bedreigingen van het koraal en hoe dit te voorkomen. @Davide bedankt voor het interessant maken van de cursus. Groet Rolinda en Paul

Today we had a very nice course Lion Fish awareness diver given bij Koa. We had an excellent time with good information, training and hunting at the end. Thanks Koa for a nice experience 👊🏻🐡🏹 groet Rolinda en Paul

Goed geslaagd voor wat we nodig hadden

Mooie winkel beetje van alles voor je duik uitrusting, en je duiklessen. Tevens zijn zij de winkel die spullen hebben voor je Gopro.

We always use the drive through to get and replace tanks. Staff are always kind and have a smile. Tanks are typically good and if you get one with a leaky handle or o-ring they exchange it easily for you.

Dive friends in general for the number and locations on Bonaire is second to none. We always choose dive friends for our cylinders. The Sand dollar location like all locations have friendly employees and it's clear to see they enjoy working to help there customers. We just returned from Bonaire and already have booked our dive resort along with dive friends for next years trip.

We did a dive refresher and 2 dives with Hank today. Excellent instructor, dive master, and great staff and dive operation. Was so good to get back in the water with comfort and confidence. Very nice dive store also. With 7 locations in the island, it's easy to see why they are in demand!

Today I had 2 wonderful guided dives with divemaster Luigi at dive sites Andrea I and Weber’s Joy. Excellent diving, excellent guide!

Super nett und entspannt. Hausriff direkt die Treppe runter. Ausrüstung leihen und ab ins Wasser. Oder auf den Pickup und zu einem der zahlreichen Strandtauchplätzen.

We had an absolutely incredible experience diving with Dive Friends Bonaire for the past week! From start to finish, the entire team made our trip easy, fun, and unforgettable. Before we even arrived, Daniel and Alyssa in reservations were super responsive and patient. When we checked in, Charlie and Luigi welcomed us with warmth and professionalism, which set the tone for the whole week. The dives themselves were beyond amazing. We did a dusk dive, two night dives, and more boat dives than I can count. The crew kept every dive fun and safe while pointing out incredible sea life—everything from turtles and eels to some of the coolest critters we’ve ever seen underwater. Special thanks to the amazing dive team: Ilse, Roan, Tessa, Andy, Luigi, Mona, Constance, Emily, Liam, and Jack. Each one brought a mix of expertise, enthusiasm, and good humor that made every dive memorable. They were patient with us when needed, encouraged us to try new things, and clearly loved what they do—it shows. Renting tanks for our own shore dives was easy and quick. These staff also gave great recommendations for our dives, as well as non-diving activities. Between the professional setup, great gear, fantastic boats, and the kind of staff who treat you like friends, it’s hard to imagine a better dive operation. We’ll be back without a doubt, and we’ll be recommending Dive Friends to anyone coming to Bonaire!

I could not possibly have found a better dive shop. Dive Friends is a pretty large dive operation, but it didn't feel like one. We went in to several of their locations for fresh tanks, water, etc. Everyone was super nice, helpful, and friendly. We took the Avelo RAD certification here. Loved the experience!

Thank you Sebastian a.k.a. (boss) for your excellent advice and service!!! We showed up at dive friends last minute, off the celebration cruise ship, and wanted to go diving. Although everything was booked up everywhere else. Even here. Sebastian came up with a plan for us. He helped us rent a truck really quick, loaded it up with quality gear and tanks, and then put us onto his favorite spots. It was absolutely amazing!!! That dude was the best... Thank you dive friends and especially you Sebastian... We can't wait to see you again.

Kim was an amazing instructor that helped us with our open water certification. Overall incredibly kind and helpful staff.

Batterij van de zoop novo vlotjes vervangen voor een vriendelijke prijs

Excellent service and super friendly staff! Will return for sure on our next diving trip to Bonaire

We had a great experience on Bonaire with Dive Friends. While initially nervous about diving unsupervised, having diven with guides previously, we were supported by a great team of kind people! Creating a comfortable space to push yourself to be a more independent, confident diver. Our boat tours with Mona, Tessa, Liam and Andy were also great and gave us the chance to see the gorgeous protected reefs of Bonaire. Great locations, great staff. Definitely a recommend!

Dive instructor Niels and Dive Master in training, Lisalot were fantastic! They were very patient, supportive, and professional. I HIGHLY recommend using Dive Friends with Niels and Lisalot for your training courses. They were superb instructors!

Made a discovery dive with dive friends today. What a great pleasure it was. Friendly and approachable staff and instructor Jack was amazing. Very knowledgeable but above all very calm and patient with his preparations. He prepares you well for your first dive without pressureor rush. Much Thanks to Dive friends and Jack for this wonderful experience. Don't hesitate to book with these guys.

Awesome dive shop! Had the pleasure of brushing up on some skills with Ari. She was super knowledgeable and a great instructor. Was able to rent equipment on a day by day basis, so only payed for the days I went diving. They kept my gear handy in a “scuba-ritto” for quick pick up. Special shout out to Jack. He was always a pleasure to work with! Highly recommend this shop!
