what to know about scuba diving in bonaire coming up this video is perfect for you if
you're considering a dive trip to this amazing and beautiful caribbean island and you don't
really know a whole lot about it i'm going to give you a ton of tips for diving here
as well as sharing with you what my experience has been like so let's dive in
the first thing to know is that this is primarily a short diving destination there
are nearly 100 dives that you can do all along this
amazing shore and it's beautiful because they do a lot to preserve the repair
and if you're like me and you've done a lot of diving but 99.9
off of a boat then you got to know that your legs better be in shape for sure diving and
it's important to not just have water shoes but have proper diving boots because getting in and
out of the water with these really sharp rocks and coral is can be hell on your feet
another thing to know is every single dive site is very clearly marked
all the same yellow rocks just like that so you know exactly where you're going
and they even tell you where the entry and exit is so look for the yellow wraps
super excited about this dive first dive of bonaire and it is a beautiful
beautiful day woke up and got the sunrise this morning
and now it's time to get in the water which i'm so excited for let's go
here's one that might make you say what is you don't lock the car when your car is at the dive
site it is windows down and doors unlocked and no valuables in the car in other words
i'm here diving with someone who's been coming to the island for over 20 years
and i guess there's some punk-ass kids that will break the windows and they're
just looking for things like iphones and gopros and super valuable things uh so you
know i leave my water bottle in the car but otherwise doors are unlocked pockets
and rent a truck and not a car and this island doesn't have a bajillion trucks and cars on it
they're actually very busy right now and even though the island feels totally totally empty
there's no more car rentals to be had so make sure that when you're
schlepped around all of your gear you have a truck for it oh also because a lot of
the roads are pretty potholi so if you're renting a scooter which i did on the side
potholes
oh let's talk about dive gear but you're getting some value out of this video cheers that like
button and consider subscribing tell me in the comments below where your favorite destination
is to dive in the world because i have a lot most of the people arriving in bonnier bring
all of their own gear but for me i needed to rent and i used vip diving they were
fantastic and they have week long gear rentals as well as unlimited air packages
this place really does have everything you need so check the info on the description below for
more info on them but i used vip diving for all my air and all my gear empty no tanks with us
today because we're being provided tanks this morning we're headed out on a boat
uh we're on the east side and what's cool about this is that we potentially will see some bigger
stuff today our boat ride is about 20 minutes through a really calm bay and then once we head
out it's gonna be a little bit rough for about a five minute ride before we dive in literally
what you're looking at right now is turtle city and there are so many girls you won't even know
where to look i did this boat dive as my last dive on my last day in bonaire and you know
what if you're doing a ton of shore diving here you have to do at least one boat time because
it is all about the small stuff when you're short diving but it is all about the big stuff when you
go out to the reefs easy to go on these dives and if you go you gotta go with these dutch dudes at
east coast divers that's right yeah yeah sid yes check the links in the description below
so that you can go out on a boat dive with these guys and maybe you'll see a turtle maybe maybe
we guarantee one turtle one turtle oh i like it
let's talk about weather and water temperature because you're probably wondering how warm or
how cold is the water i talked about this in my what to know about bonnier video link in
the description below but it's interesting because bonaire is a consistent 81 degrees
year-round which means the water temperature is very very warm as well
i still wore a three milliwet suit i get cold easily but the water super warm year-round
i think it's important to know that even though bon-air diving is amazing there's not just
diving on the island make sure you check out my other video how to spend a perfect day in bonaire
because yeah there's a lot of diving but there's a lot of other stuff too i hope you had some fun
with me in this video cheers that like button if you haven't already tell me in the comments
below if you're considering diving in funner and i'll see you in the next adventure ciao
