Private Guided Diving
All dives at Dive Experience Bonaire are Private guide dives! Why?
From our own experience as divers during our own diving holidays but also during our work as a diving instructor, we experience that diving in small groups is more fun! Just diving together with your partner, family or friends without having to pay attention to other divers is far more relaxed and enjoyable than diving in bigger groups.
Guided by our instructors who know the way around and what to look for you can explore the beautiful underwater world of Bonaire in your own private group on your own pace and comfort!
Why should you choose Dive Experience Bonaire?
Special Events
If your scuba diving trip marks a special event, like a honeymoon, birthday or wedding anniversary, you want to spend that special day(s) with your most favorite person(s)! Having a private dive guide to yourself makes the diving experience much more special than just being one of many in a bigger group of divers. We will take care that your dives will be exactly as you want them to be and that you can create more unique and memorable moments as couple, family or friends! Of course, we can take pictures of you during the dives* that you can memorize these moments even longer.
Physical Challenges
For people with physical challenges, the feeling of weightlessness and support of water can give them a significant relief when they are diving. If you facing aching joints or back issues, have a prostheses or other handicaps which prevent you from diving on their own with your buddy, we can provide the land, boat or underwater support that you need to enjoy your dive**.
Whether that is assisting you to gear up in-water, providing ‘towing’ support underwater or on the surface, assisting with gear preparation or simply physical logistics, we can help. Just contact us for the possibilities to create your worry-free diving experience with us!
Higher Air Consumption
Some people just do have a higher air consumption than others. Let’s face it! There are lots of reasons to use more air than others: for some we can help you with to improve your air consumption, and some others are just down to your physiology. If you feel that you are cutting others people’s dive short and want to practice techniques to increase your time under water, contact us!
We can arrange a private guide who can help you to find ways of using less air. We will work on your buoyancy and efficiency in the water and we will extend your dive time to the maximum that you are capable of.
If you are already a pro in your air consumption and you want to take longer dives than the average dive time of a bigger group, we are also the perfect fit for you! You determine how long the dives will be!
Dive Experience Bonaire will take you on a guided dive to many different shore dive sites around Bonaire. Although the dive sites are relatively close together each dive site is different: from wall dives, reef and drift dives, the wreck of the ‘Hilma Hooker’, coral gardens, sites with many turtles etc. We will show you the highlights of each dive site considering your wishes, experience and comfort.

Dive into the Dark
Night Diving
Scuba diving during daytime is awesome, but what about night diving?
Night diving is quite a unique and beautiful experience and is always full of surprises. When you descend under water at night you’ll discover a whole different world.
During a night dive you will see a different marine life than during a dive at daylight. Parts of the marine creatures which sleep during the day and are active after sunset.
Many shrimps, lobsters and crabs leaving their hiding spots and can be admired by you. Also, hunting Tarpons and octopuses will passing by. At night, the colorful coral polyps open to feed, drawing nutrients from the passing currents.
The colors of the reef and its marine life may appear more vibrant to you as well during your night dive, enlightened by the beam of your dive light. An awesome experience!
We will plan your night dive carefully: we will choose a dive site you are familiar with, has an easy entrance and has as less current as possible so we can dive slowly. Before its getting dark, we will already set up all our dive gear, do the briefing and explain the proper use of the dive light. After enjoying one of the beautiful sunsets here on Bonaire, we gear up and enter the water when there is still a little bit of light. That gives you some time to get accustomed with the new circumstances to fully enjoy the underwater world at night.
Let Dive Experience Bonaire help you with everything you need for this adventure! Even if you are not new to night diving, there is always more to explore and to discover!
Dive off the Beaten track
East Coast Diving
The east coast of Bonaire is often called the ‘wild side’ because of its high waves and stronger currents. Diving here is also possible when the wind and weather condition are favourable. Then it is a true diving adventure and you will experience a complete different underwater world than on the west coast of Bonaire. The condition there attract many turtles, lobsters, sharks, spotted eagle rays, sting rays, schools of tarpons and even mantas have been spotted there. The reef is intact and sponges, as well as sea fans, can be enormous between the amazing coral formations. Nevertheless, the diving at the east coast is not for beginners and requires some extra planning due to the current and possible high waves. So if you are an experienced diver and would like to dive the east site from shore, contact us for more information.
