Plan your week: simple ways to schedule six boat dives
You have two easy ways to organize your six boat dives during a week at Eden Beach. Choose the rhythm that fits your energy and goals.
Option A: One-boat-dive-per-day cadence

Sample flow:
- Day 1: Boat dive to Klein Bonaire; optional afternoon shore dive at Front Porch
- Day 2: Boat dive; sunset snorkel or rest

- Day 6: Boat dive; celebrate with a relaxed evening
Option B: Clustered boat dives with buffer days

Sample flow:
