Direct, all-in pricing means you won’t be surprised by add-ons at pickup. As Wannadive puts it, diving & driving here is truly all-in.

Why Dive & Drive Takes the Hassle Out of Bonaire

Bonaire is built for shore diving freedom. With your own pickup and unlimited air, you can set your pace, chase the best conditions, and make the most of each day—without logistical friction.

1) Transparency from the start

• No hidden costs: The rental includes all insurances—upfront and clear.
• Full–full fuel: A simple, fair policy. Return what you used and avoid fuel surcharges.
• Defined risk: Full insurance with $500 own risk gives you clarity about your exposure.

2) Unlimited air with a free Nitrox upgrade

• 6 days unlimited air streamlines multi-dive days across the island.
• Free Nitrox upgrade (32%) helps support longer no-decompression limits at typical recreational depths and can reduce nitrogen loading over multiple dives a day.
• Tank compatibility: Wannadive offers Air and Nitrox 32%, with both DIN and yoke (international) connections, and 10L (63 cu ft) and 12L (80 cu ft) tanks.

3) Built around shore-diving freedom

• Bonaire’s shore sites are marked with yellow stones at entry points, making navigation straightforward.
• With the pickup, you can easily access sites around the island, load/unload gear, and follow your ideal dive rhythm.
• The Bonaire National Marine Park hosts over 90 dive sites with more than 57 species of soft and stony coral and 350+ recorded fish species. A Nature Fee is required for all users of the park; details are available via STINAPA.

4) Drive-in convenience at two full-service shops

• Two locations, island-wide access:
  • North: Eden Beach Resort (oceanfront; boats depart mostly to Klein Bonaire; on-site shore dive site: Front Porch)
  • South: Grand Windsock Resort (home to a REC TEC gas blending station and a dive drive-in)
• Drive-in tank stations and a large stock of tanks in multiple configurations keep your turnaround quick and easy.
• Both shops offer ample facilities such as parking, storage rooms, showers, and rinse basins to keep your days efficient.

5) Eco-forward operations where it matters

• Wannadive South (Grand Windsock) is fully powered by solar panels, making it one of the island’s most ecologically responsible choices for divers who care about their footprint.

Go Beyond Shore: Boats, Courses, and More

It’s been a while since I dived—should I do a refresher?

Where can I pick up tanks and swap them quickly?

• Both Eden Beach and Grand Windsock locations feature convenient dive drive-in stations and a large stock of cylinders to keep your schedule moving.

Practical Tips to Maximize Your Dive & Drive

• Map your days around conditions: With your own pickup and unlimited air, you can chase the best visibility and current windows across north and south.
• Start with orientation and a buoyancy check: It’s required—and it sets you up for safer, more enjoyable dives.
• Use the drive-in stations: Turnaround time matters on multi-dive days; the drive-in makes it fast.
• Plan Nitrox for repeat dives: If you’re certified for 32%, the free upgrade is a no-brainer for multi-dive schedules.
• Rinse and reset daily: Take advantage of on-site showers and rinse basins to extend gear life and comfort.
• Think north vs. south: Combine shore dives with a boat day from Eden Beach for Klein Bonaire’s reefs and drop-offs.
• Book courses early: Whether you’re leveling up or going pro, securing Courses in advance keeps your itinerary smooth.
