Bonaire Scuba Group Trip
May 31, 2025 – June 7, 2025
Everyone has heard about Bonaire as one of the Scuba Diving hotspots in the Caribbean, right?! We organized a great trip to this scuba paradise in the southern Caribbean.
WHERE ARE WE GOING?
We are going to Bonaire for a group scuba trip! Bonaire is located just north of Venezuela in the southern Caribbean. This Dutch Caribbean island has protected its marine resources for more than 35 years. Because of this, marine life abounds with more than 470 fish species found in Bonaire’s waters. Famed as one of the best Caribbean dive destinations, Bonaire hosts amazing coral reefs and long forgotten shipwrecks. Because the island’s dive sites are protected from any currents, this is one of the best places in the world for new and experienced divers.
WHY BONAIRE?
Bonaire is a perfect location for an Athens Scuba dive trip. We will be able to choose between boat and shore diving. Our resort has a gorgeous reef just offshore for unlimited shore diving, and/or those wanting to visit the further reaches of Bonaire National Marine Park will be able to book dives with a dive boat.
THE DIVING
The Plaza Beach and Dive Resort Bonaire, has their own, in-house dive shop and school, Toucan Diving. With Toucan Diving, we are guaranteed an unforgettable diving vacation. From novice diver to experienced diver, we will feel at home at this PADI 5 Star Toucan Diving Bonaire.
Their dedicated team will provide a safe, fun and unforgettable diving experience. From the beach of Plaza Beach & Dive Resort, at their own house reef “18th Palm”, you’ll see the wonderful coral formations, countless colorful fish and fascinating sea life!
Our stay at The Plaza Resort includes unlimited shore diving (for certified divers). We are also offering an optional package which includes 17 boat dives for those interested. This should be plenty of diving for everyone!
THE HOTEL
We will be staying at the Plaza Beach and Dive Resort Bonaire for 7 nights. The newly renovated beach resort offers very spacious rooms with beautiful views of the azure lagoon and the marina. We have reserved the Junior Suite Laguna, which is a very spacious and stylishly decorated room with beautiful views, where you can completely unwind during your stay on Bonaire! All Junior Suite Lagoon rooms at Plaza Beach Resort are equipped with a terrace or balcony, two kingsize beds and air-conditioning. Upgrades to the poolside junior suites and the grand suites are available for an additional charge.
We have booked an all-inclusive holiday on Bonaire. The service-oriented staff is happy to take your worries our of your hands! You can enjoy unlimited meals, snacks, drinks and entertainment. The buffet restaurant the Tipsy Seagull offers delicious meals with a unique sea view. Several times a week even with live music! Fancy a drink? Then enjoy a cocktail or ice-cold beer at the Coconut Crash Beach Bar. You can choose from the numerous all-inclusive facilities offered by Plaza Beach & Dive Resort.
