Sand Dollar Condominiums is partnered with on-site PADI 5 Star Dive Friends Bonaire. The dive shop includes a full-service dive dock, drive-up tank station, rinse tanks, and gear storage area that is accessible 24/7. For guests who want to dive at the Bonaire Marine Park, a Marine Park Tag is required. Divers must participate in an orientation briefing, and take a self-guided familiarization dive. Divers should bring their dive certification card, diving vouchers, a credit card for a security deposit authorization, and proof of online purchase of marine park tag. The house reef is known as Bari Reef and is perfect for diving and snorkeling. It is ranked #1 reef in the Caribbean for fish diversity. The drop off begins in twenty-five feet of water and eventually slopes to a sandy bottom at one hundred thirty feet. Squid and the yellow-headed jawfish are almost always present during this dive. The reef is filled with orange elephant ear sponges, huge rope sponges, and purple tube sponges as well as hard and soft corals.
The Breezes N’ Bites waterfront restaurant is adjacent to Dive Friends Bonaire and the Den Laman complex. The restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner but is closed on Wednesdays. The menu is Caribbean-inspired and offers fish, beef, chicken, and vegetarian dishes. Eddy’s Restaurant and Bar is a family-owned restaurant located at the Sand Dollar pool. It is open for lunch and dinner and offers French, Columbian, and Venezuelan cuisine. Tuesday and Thursday nights are Mojitos & Music night from 7:00-9:00 pm and Jazz Night starts every weekend at Eddy’s.



Dive Conditions

Bonaire is an ideal destination for underwater photographers. Water temperatures average a warm 78-84°F (25.6-28.9°C), with visibility averaging over 100 feet (30m), and occasionally reaching up to 150 feet (50m). Water temperatures do vary widely by season and location.
Scuba diving in Bonaire means three things: easy shore diving, low cost, and a strong diving infrastructure. It has over 60 dive sites all easily accessible by shore. Divers can see colorful large sponges and sea fans while diving Bonaire, as well as explore quite a few shipwrecks, and encounter various marine life like turtles, barracudas and groupers. Angelfish, butterflyfish, seahorses, crabs, and shrimps can also be seen. Often referred to as the shore diving capital of the world, the dive sites in Bonaire are clearly marked and easily identifiable. The reef is only a short swim from shore and in pristine condition due to many decades of protection. Driving from one dive site to the next is a breeze with one main road running the length of the island.
Bonaire diving conditions are usually good year-round. Although Bonaire has a reputation for having great weather all year, the hurricane season is between June and November. And technically below the hurricane belt, the island has had its share of odd storms and received significant damage in 2008 from Hurricane Omar. Some drivers have said that some shallow reefs sustained damage from that Hurricane, but not the deeper reef areas.
Water Temperatures range from 80 to 86 F (27 to 30 C). The warmest water is in August / September. Visibility averages 40-100 feet (12-30M) but occasionally drops down to less. It can easily be over 100ft (30m) at Klein Bonaire.
