We did the DSD and Hidde was our dive guide. He did a fantastic job at explaining the equipment, what to expect, and what the experience was going to be... read more like. Hidde was exceptionally clear with his instructions and directions during our dive under water. We always understood the route, when to descend, or to ascend from his clear signals. We enjoyed it so much we did a second dive. We would recommend Hidde and Dive Friends Bonaire for anyone starting with scuba or an experienced diver.

We cannot wait to go back and share another great experience! Thank you again Hidde and Dive Friends Bonaire (yellow submarine team). See you soon!

  I got my Advanced at Dive Friends
Koa teaches me how to become a better diver. What a joy!
Thank you Koa for the great time!!

  Overall, it was a great experience with my instructor Koa on the PADI advanced course. He was very thorough, highly professional, and offered advice, tips, and insights all throughout the... read more two days of rigorous, but fun learning. In addition, all the staff I interacted with were super friendly and professional. Top notch employees and just good people here. My only problem comes from the management side. After my course, I rented some equipment and a tank for 3 air fills - and pre-paid for all of this. I was only able to dive once given some ear issues (but that was a great dive at Karpata). When I returned the gear and tank, I requested a refund for the 2 tank fills I did not use. Staff telephoned their manager but they declined to give any reprieve giving no apparent reason. That just left a bad taste in what was a great experience. Essentially, one dive cost $66 for air - even the staff agreed they saw it as unfair. It is a shame for the business, as I was about to purchase some t-shirts and gear, but after that unfortunate decision, I decided to take business elsewhere. I have to say, I'll think twice about diving with Dive Friends again, and will definitely get my air elsewhere.

  I went diving with Dive Friends in November 2022 and Tess provided a winderful trip at 2 different dive sites. The whole island is a marine sanctuary so the... read more sea life is plentiful everywhere. Dive Friends are setup with dive shops at every site so getting any kind of help or service is instant. Dive masters are very knowledgeable.

  I have done 2 dives with Divefriends. First one was a refresh and short dive at Bari reef. That was very relaxed. Second one was a personal dive with Tessa... read more at Cliff reef. As I am not a great diver and uncertain, diving with a personal divemaster was great. Tessa helped me with my mask issues and took all the time I needed for my ears. After that we could dive down to 14 meters and it was very nice. Thank you Tessa.
