Photographyget the most out of it!

Bonaire and its perfect photographic conditions make the island one of the top 5 macro life destinations. Buddy Dive’s digital photo services is perfectly equipped to make your photographic experience an extraordinary one. Besides digital camera equipment for rent/sale and photo coaching sessions, you can follow courses such as PADI U/W photography and videographer specialties.

Few destinations offer the photographic opportunities that you will find here on Bonaire. With our incredible visibility, abundant fish life and healthy reef system, wide angle opportunities are naturally around. But it is the bounty of macro life visible both day and night, that truly sets us apart. Not surprising, visitors to the island have regularly named Bonaire one of the top 5 macro life destinations in Scuba Diving Magazine’s annual Readers Survey.

Photography friendly resort

Our dive boats offer freshwater rinse buckets. Back at the dock, we have designated camera rinse tanks to allow for proper soaking after your dive. There is also a designated camera rinse tank at the drive-thru air and Nitrox fill station.

Buddy Dive’s digital photo service, located at the retail shop, has a variety of services to offer to divers who want to take advantage of Bonaire’s photographic opportunities.
