Diving
Welcome to Wannadive Bonaire!
Our dive shop is located at Eden Beach Resort in “Divers’ Paradise,” Bonaire, in the Caribbean.
The owner, Bart Snelder, is a dedicated dive professional who operates Wannadive Bonaire with a vision. We hope to provide great casual service with a smile to all of our guests. From the single individual diver to large groups, from the casual ‘once a day’ diver to the hardcore ‘never dry up nitrogen addict ‘, we hope to show all of what Bonaire’s incredible diving has to offer. Together with our dedicated multilingual crew, we dive it all, and we invite you to ‘dive’ into our website and have a look.
Wannadive Bonaire has always specialized in trying to provide our guests with a service that enables our divers to enjoy Bonaire’s unbelievable shore diving to the fullest. With our extremely convenient scuba-drive-in at Eden Beach Resort and more pickup/drop off points for dive tanks on the island, we hope to provide a service that guarantees the awesome accessibility to Bonaire’s shore dive sites, as no other dive operation can. There are more than 60 shore dives to choose from, a feature that made Bonaire world-famous as a dive destination, in fact often named the shore dive capital of the world.

Boat Diving
Wannadive Bonaire provides unlimited, every day, boat diving for exploration on Klein Bonaire and the boat dive sites north on the main island of Bonaire. We don’t like ‘cattle boats’ like most divers don’t. Our boat crew is known for their professionalism and their way of providing relaxed and ‘5-star service’. We gladly let you experience our boat-dive freedom concept.
Boat diving can be booked per boat dive as well as a package deal. To give an example, a 6-day package for 6 boat dives and tanks, weights, and air costs $345. But we advise you to check out the specials at www.wannadive.com.
Guided Diving
Wannadive offers daily guided diving for divers who come to Bonaire without a dive buddy or for inexperienced divers who feel more comfortable diving with a professional. Wannadive provides guided diving for experienced divers as well. A ‘custom-made week package’ is available for all divers! This is the so-called ‘fun package’. But of course it is possible to book per guided dive while you are on Bonaire. Check out our website for pricing at www.wannadive.com.
East Coast Diving
Insiders know the east coast to be the most challenging, exciting, and most rewarding diving on Bonaire. Wannadive already offered guided, rough-side, east coast diving for years, but only to experienced divers. To make the exceptional diving on the east coast accessible to more people, a whole new concept was born.
Wannadive initiated a close working relationship with East Coast divers who operate a huge rigid inflatable boat capable of handling any seas, short of inside hurricanes. The boat is stationed at Sorobon Beach Resort, where Wannadive opened its newest service point. The boat is staffed with Wannadive-trained crew for your guidance off course. So since January 2011, Wannadive Bonaire has offered east coast boat diving for all levels of divers. East coast diving can be booked per dive as well as in a package deal. To give an example, a 6-day package for 2 west side boat dives, an east side/wild side boat dive, and tanks, weights, and air costs $295. But we advise you to check out the specials at www.wannadive.com.
Teaching & Training
Wannadive Bonaire is internationally known for its high level of teaching and training. We offer courses from the first beginner introduction course for just half a day to a full internship to become a professional dive master within two months. Our instructors offer all PADI, SDI-TDI open water-, advanced-, rescue-diver courses and a wide range off specialties courses. Course prices vary from $50 to $395. But we advise you to check out the specials at www.wannadive.com.
Some of our instructors are trained by TDI/SDI, which is a dive training agency specialized in technical diving within recreational dive standards. This was with the specific goal of allowing our guests not only to get in touch with the basics of technical diving, but more specifically, with a wonderful course, ‘Solo Diving’, which is now available at our various locations.
