Buddy Dive Resort - A diver-focused waterfront resort with custom dive boats, apartment-style accommodations, and unlimited shore diving

Fronting the waterfront north of Kralendijk, Buddy Dive Resort features studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, each equipped with a fully functional kitchen, cable TV, and air-conditioning. Ocean, garden, or pool views are available depending on the unit location. The resort operates a full-service dive center with six custom dive boats, a Drive-Thru air and nitrox fill station, and guided shore and boat diving. Two onsite restaurants, including Blennies Beachside Restaurant, serve Mediterranean-inspired cuisine. Guests can explore approximately 80 official dive sites, mostly accessible from shore, in waters averaging 80°F (28°C) with visibility often exceeding 30.5 m. Buddy Dive Resort provides complimentary Wi-Fi across the property, gear storage, and rental vehicles for Drive & Dive packages.

Pros

The resort's Drive-Thru tank station allows unlimited shore diving with easy access to rinse tanks and gear storage.

Rooms feature fully equipped kitchens, allowing self-catering for longer stays.

Six custom dive boats facilitate guided excursions to Klein Bonaire and other remote sites.

Two swimming pools and a beachside dining area provide non-diving leisure options.

Cons

Many dive sites require a short drive, necessitating use of the included rental vehicle.

The dive-focused amenities may appeal less to non-diving guests.
