Diving Buddy’s Reef Bonaire | The Shore Dive Collection | TropicLens - 4K

When we first came to Bonaire in 2018, we stayed at Buddy’s Dive Resort. It was quite convenient with their on site car rental and terrific facilities. Then we dove the site and fell in love. Tarpon, octopus and crab were exciting, but we also saw a few things we had not seen on Bonaire before like a cuber snapper and music volute. Plus, they have strong support for reef renewal and restoration efforts. What’s not to love?

The combination of logistics and reef life puts this in one of our top ten dive sites on the island. Don’t believe us? Check out the video and see for yourself!

We want to encourage more shore diving, so this video provides some guidance where the site is, how to dive it and what you may see there. If you want to skip to or review specific topics, the section timings are as follows.

That "sunfish" is an ocean triggerfish I believe. Love your videos by the way! Thank you for producing these!

Really good information and excellent camera work. I felt like I was there!

I carry a spare double ended on my shoulder d-ring. It works great for tapping on your tank.

My buddy's and my ears are so used to that sound that your video got our attention straight from the beginning.

Can you dive this site with tanks rented elsewhere, such as Dive Friends? My next trip to Bonaire will be my first not renting from Buddy Dive, but I would still love to be able to do a dive or two on this reef since I love it. I love to be able to grab lunch at Blenny's at the same time.
