Comments	[None]Bonaire - Buddy Dive Resort The dive center area for storing your gear was small and needed updating. Gearing up for the house reef dives was crowded, and several times the rinse tanks were empty during the day. Wooden dock and ladders need repairs for entry and exit to the house reef. The house reef dive areas were great for diving. Loading the equipment onto the boat mainly was the effort of the diver. The dive boats were in excellent condition. The tank storage racks on the boat were very close together, making it difficult to mount your gear on the tank and stay out of people’s space. The process of renting a truck and checking out tanks for shore diving around the island was excellent. The staff in all areas of the resort were friendly and professional. The shore diving around the island was fun, and a lot to explore.
