Dive into adventure with Roy's Top 5 water sports activities
Welcome to Bonaire, the Caribbean's water sports paradise! The island provides a one-of-a-kind diving experience. Roy Smits, Managing Director at Dive Friends Bonaire, unveils his top 5 water sports activities that promise an unforgettable aquatic adventure for divers and water sports enthusiasts alike.
1. Memorable dive at Delfins Reef
“Delfins Reef, Delfins Beach Resort's captivating house reef, invites you to embark on a memorable dive. Swim over the sandy bottom, keeping an eye out for rays hidden in the depths. The drop-off descends to 15 meters, revealing a combination of dense soft and hard corals. Dive 365 days a year, seven days a week, thanks to Bonaire's tropical climate. After your dive, rinse your gear at our special location on the resort, complete with freshwater showers.”
2. Boat diving adventure at Klein Bonaire
Roy explains, "Bonaire offers abundant diving opportunities, just as diverse as the marine life in its waters. I highly recommend the boat dive around Klein Bonaire. In a boat trip of under half an hour, you'll discover vibrant coral reefs and diverse underwater ecosystems. Immerse yourself in the variety of underwater creatures and let the currents guide you on a mesmerizing journey beneath the surface."
3. Explore the depths with Avelo
“Dive Friends Bonaire pioneers the diving revolution with Avelo, a groundbreaking technology providing a freediving-like experience with flawless neutral buoyancy. As the world's first international Avelo Dive Center, Dive Friends invites you to discover the freedom and streamlined joy of Avelo, available at our Delfins Beach Resort location. Prepare to be amazed as you effortlessly glide below the surface, surrounded by the wonders of Bonaire's underwater world.”
4. Windsurfing in Lac Bay
“Lac Bay, near Sorobon Beach, beckons windsurfers with its magnetic charm. The steady onshore winds and shallow waters make Lac Bay one of the world's premier windsurfing destinations. After an exhilarating day on the water, unwind at the Hang-Out Beachbar, My go-to spot for relaxation and the perfect way to cap off a windsurfing adventure.”
5. The subaquatic splendor of Zoutpier
“Zoutpier (Salt Pier) stands as an iconic gem of Bonaire. Dive into the subaquatic splendor through snorkeling or diving, with Zoutpier offering an ideal introduction for newcomers to Bonaire's mesmerizing underwater realm.
