We've made many trips to Bonaire over the years. This trip we actually started out at Belmar (owned by Buddy Dive) but asked to be relocated to Buddy Dive. Belmar was working on the dock and had temporary steps put in. They were very steep. My understanding is 2 people fell a few days before we got there. Belmar was very apologetic about the situation and transferred use with no problems. If you haven't been there, Buddy Dive is a big operation and very busy. We were shore diving so I can't speak about the boat operation. The room we had was very nice with a complete kitchen. Buddy reef was fine, but you can tell its had some wear and tear. |
