What is Avelo Diving?
Discover the future of scuba in Bonaire
Scuba diving has always been about exploring the underwater world, but what if the way we dive could be radically improved? Enter the Avelo dive system, a new and innovative approach to scuba that’s changing the game for divers around the world.
At Dive Friends Bonaire, we’re proud to be the only dive operation in the Caribbean offering the Avelo diving system, and we’ve built a unique dive package for those ready to experience this revolutionary technology firsthand.
What is the Avelo Dive System?
The Avelo Dive System is a lightweight, streamlined scuba setup designed to make diving easier, safer, and more enjoyable. By replacing traditional buoyancy control devices (BCDs) and standard air tanks with Avelo’s Hydrotank and integrated buoyancy management, the system lets you stay neutrally buoyant throughout your dive with almost no effort.
For divers, this means:
- Better control underwater
- Longer bottom times
- Less drag and gear weight
- A more natural, relaxed dive experience
Many describe Avelo Diving as “the closest thing to flying underwater.”
Why Try Avelo Diving in Bonaire?
If you’re going to try something new, do it in the best place possible. Bonaire is known as one of the top shore diving destinations in the world, and our calm, clear waters make it the perfect location to experience the Avelo dive system for the first time.
We offer hands-on training with certified Avelo instructors, guided dives to help you get comfortable, and flexible rental options.
Who is Avelo for?
Whether you’re a newly certified diver or have years of experience, the Avelo diving system brings something fresh to the table. It simplifies buoyancy control, reduces fatigue, and delivers a smoother dive from start to finish.
“Avelo made me fall in love with diving all over again.” – Jay S.
