How the Dive & Drive works (step-by-step)
- Book the Dive & Drive bundle.
- Before your first dive, purchase the Bonaire National Marine Park Nature Fee online via the STINAPA website.
- Check in at either Wannadive location—north at Eden Beach Resort or south at Grand Windsock Resort. You can use both shops freely after you sign up.
- Load tanks at the convenient dive drive-in. Swap empties quickly between dives and plan your next stop.
- Rinse and reset: both locations offer fresh-water rinse basins, showers, gear storage rooms, and ample parking.
- Return the truck with the same fuel level you received (full-to-full), covered by full insurance with $500 own risk.
Where to base your trip: north vs. south
Eden Beach (north)
- Ocean-front location; all boat dives depart from here.
- Regular boat trips visit Klein Bonaire’s reefs and drop-offs.
- Comprehensive drive-in tank station and shore access at the site known as Front Porch.
- Recommended flagship at this location: a weekly six-day air / six-boat dive package (available separately from Dive & Drive).
Grand Windsock (south)
- Brand-new, fully solar-powered shop—an eco-forward base for your trip.
- Home to the REC TEC gas-blending station for custom mixes (including Nitrox and other technical blends).
- Dive drive-in on site and direct shore access at the site called The Beach.
- Dive & Drive is especially recommended here, with resort partners that make shore diving exceptionally convenient.
No matter where you start, you can use the services and facilities of both locations.
Why Dive & Drive fits Bonaire so well
- Shore diving is the island’s signature: sites are marked by yellow stones and easily accessed by road, so a pickup truck plus unlimited air is the ideal combo.
- Swapping tanks at drive-ins keeps you moving efficiently, letting you stack multiple sites in a day.
- A complimentary Nitrox upgrade (for certified divers) pairs naturally with Bonaire’s typical dive profiles.
Add-ons you can combine with Dive & Drive
- Guided shore or boat dives with Wannadive’s multilingual crew.
- Boat trips from Eden Beach to Klein Bonaire.
- PADI courses—from beginner through professional—taught at both locations, with on-site classrooms and pool access for confined-water skills.
- Technical and custom gas blends prepared at the south-side REC TEC station.
