Wilson Diving has teamed up with Fly and Sea Travel and staying at the fabulous Buddy Dive Resort Bonaire this coming November 2009.

We have booked 8 rooms but now have only 4 left.

 BONAIRE: A PARADISE FOR DIVERS AND SNORKELERS: The automobile license plates on Bonaire read,"A Diver's Paradise," and there's no disputing the accuracy of this slogan. The highly accessible reefs that surround Bonaire have never suffered from exploitation, poaching or pollution, and the island's environmentally conscientious dive industry and the Bonaire National Marine Park will ensure they never do. Home to one of the world's top underwater environments, the island offers ideal conditions for everyone from the first-time snorkeler to the certified diver

DIVING 24 HOURS A DAY, 365 DAYS A YEAR: Created through volcanic eruptions, Bonaire is an underwater mountain with fringe reefs that are easily accessible from the shoreline in front of every hotel or any part of the island. Located well outside of the hurricane belt and therefore protected from reef damage, Bonaire offers world-class diving and snorkeling 365 days a year. With, on average, just 22 inches of annual rainfall, there is very little freshwater run-off, so underwater visibility is typically 100 feet or more, and water temperatures average a warm 78-84 F (25.6 - 28.9 C).

The average boat trip to dive sites is 15 minutes with the farthest reachable within an hour. And because the sites are so close to shore and the water is so calm, visitors can dive anytime, day or night. Night dives are very popular.

With a far-sighted dedication to protecting their assets both under and above the water, the government of Bonaire was environmentally aware long before it became fashionable. In 1979, Bonaire designated all surrounding waters as a Marine Park, including a ban on spear fishing and coral collecting within the park, and later instituted permanent moorings to minimize anchor damage. As a result of the continued efforts of the Marine Park, divers and snorkelers find the reefs virtually untouched, with lush coral growth and abundant fish populations.
