Dive Friends welcomes Dive Inn Bonaire!  Effective March 12, 2008, Dive Inn Bonaire joined the Dive Friends family and we're excited about our new location.  We hope to re-open the Dive Inn facility within a few days, but in the meantime, any divers may continue their diving activities with air and nitrox available at the Yellow Submarine, Port Bonaire, or Hamlet Oasis locations.  In the interim, any courses will be conducted at the Yellow Submarine facility. Those with existing reservations at Dive Inn need not worry--Dive Friends Bonaire has agreed to honor all existing reservations.  If you would like to reconfirm your existing reservation, please write us at diveinn@dive-friends-bonaire.com.

Bon bini!

Dive Friends Bonaire is a new company evolved out of the merger between Photo Tours Divers and Yellow Submarine. Dive Friends is devoted to bringing you the best diving and services that Bonaire has to offer.

Dive Friends Bonaire is a family-type dive school, as the personal touch is very important. We prefer "‘quality" instead of "quantity." If you have never spent some time with us, we invite you to stop for a cup of coffee anytime at any location; we'd be delighted to show you around.

With both Yellow Submarine and Photo Tours Divers, Dive Friends Bonaire brings you four dive locations to make your shore or boat diving as easy as possible. What sets us apart from the larger dive operations is that Dive Friends Bonaire can provide you with an orientation briefing at any time, at any location, during normal business hours.

We also have two retail stores downtown:

With designations as a PADI Gold Palm Resort, as well as a National Geographic Family Dive Center, you can rest assured you will receive only the best of instruction when you take a course with Dive Friends. Courses are offered from basic training for the beginner through professional ratings, such as Divemaster. Specialty guided dives, boat dives or technical diving are also available. During the coral spawning season, Dive Friends offers special guided night dives.

All facilities are fully equipped with excellent rental gear, should you require it. Additionally, we realize that not everyone wants to spend every minute underwater, so we offer many other activities, some especially for kids, from which to choose.

Dive Friends is the only dive school which is not directly connected to a resort. All people from all accommodations are welcome to dive with us. If you have not yet made a decision as to where to stay while visiting Bonaire, be sure to check out the links to our partner properties--they offer many options from budget to luxurious, and are always there to take care of your needs. Some of our guests have been kind enough to send us their thanks--read their comments.

We look forward to welcoming you to Bonaire, whether it is your first visit, or twentieth! Please let us know if we can assist you in any way, by sending an email to info@dive-friends-bonaire.com.
