Boats
Buddy Dive Resort guests can enjoy morning, afternoon and evening boat trips to the nearby island of Klein Bonaire and other sites inaccessible to shore diving aboard one of our five boats:

 Dive Buddy arrived on December 24th 2009 at Buddy’s dock! Both guest and personnel were very exited to see the first glimpse of the custom designed yacht cat boat on the horizon next to Klein Bonaire.

The new boat is completely innovative and new to the scuba diving industry. This motor cat boat has room for 24 divers on a 3-tank dive. It has everything on board that a diver needs like rinse buckets, a camera table, a sundeck, a shaded area, and an easy entry platform for both going in and out of the water. After your dive, you can enjoy the sun and stunning views from a comfortable seat on the fly-bridge.

The Sport Diver II is a custom built 42’ DELTA. It easily accommodates 27 divers on a two-tank dive. It has a camera rinse tank, dry storage and a fresh water shower. The easy access in and out of the water guarantees diving comfort. Have a chat with the captain on the bridge where you have a spectacular view over the Caribbean Sea.


The Harbour Lady is a Newton 36' Dive Special that can easily accommodate 24 divers and crew on a 2-tank. The deck area is roomy for divers to stow all their equipment without compromising space. A dedicated camera table, dry storage area, fresh water shower and a large rinse bucket add to diver comfort. There is no better place to enjoy the view of the islands than from the Captains Fly Bridge.

The Bayena, which is the Papiamentu word for "whale" is also a custom built Newton 30' Dive Special, and is ideal for smaller groups of 10 or fewer looking for personal 2 tank dives or 12 divers on a one-tank dive. She also has dry storage, camera rinse tank, a fresh water shower, and a sun roof.



The Red Tide is a 32' Island Hopper Dive boat with a swimming platform for easy entries and exits and plenty of space to move about. Permanent tank racks are installed which will enable her to take 14 divers comfortably on a 2 tank dive. She also has dry storage area, camera rinse tank and a fresh water shower, and of course all of our boats have an ample supply of cold drinking water as well as fresh fruit, a perfect post-dive thirst quencher!


 High Flight is a 30 feet custom built boat used for private dive or snorkel charters (only small groups of max. 6 persons). It has easy on board access, comfortable seats and a convenient diving platform with ladder.

For your safety, all of our boats are equipped with first aid kits and O2, two way radios and appropriate rescue equipment. And there will always be two crew members on each trip, who are trained in Medic First Aid and either PADI certified Dive Masters or Instructors: the boat captain will remain on-board to assist you into and out of the water and monitor your underwater progress, and the dive guide who will accompany you on the dive to ensure your enjoyment and your in-water safety.
