Bonaire Diving: Three Different Dive Experiences to Try

Bonaire is well known for its scuba diving, but divers visiting the island can also try several different underwater experiences with Dive Friends Bonaire. Among the options are full-face mask diving, ostracod night dives and diving with the Avelo Dive System.

Full-Face Mask Diving in Bonaire

The Ocean Reef Full Face Mask allows divers to breathe through both their nose and mouth while underwater. Dive Friends Bonaire also offers a full-face mask and underwater communication combination, allowing divers to communicate with their buddy or guide underwater.

Ostracod Night Diving in Bonaire

On certain nights each month, tiny bioluminescent creatures called ostracods create displays of light underwater.

Dive Friends Bonaire offers ostracod night dives, as well as an Ostracods Night Diver speciality.

Avelo Diving in Bonaire

Dive Friends Bonaire also offers diving with the Avelo Dive System, described by the operator as a lightweight and streamlined way of diving.

At the heart of the system is the Avelo Hydrotank, which combines a tank with an integrated buoyancy system that uses water rather than air for buoyancy control. Dive Friends Bonaire offers Avelo courses, guided dives and equipment rental.

For divers visiting Bonaire, these three options provide different ways to experience the underwater environment. Find out how you can enjoy these experiences with Dive Friends Bonaire at www.divefriendsbonaire.com/courses/specialties.
