Pool & Porch Perks: Pairing Oasis Guesthouse with Wannadive South

If you’re dreaming of Bonaire’s legendary south-shore diving without the hassle, Pairing Oasis Guesthouse with Wannadive South is a smart, stress-free move. Set in Belnem just minutes from southern dive sites, Oasis delivers quiet, boutique comfort—think ecological pool, covered porches, and a communal BBQ—while Wannadive’s Grand Windsock shop streamlines your shore-diving routine with a dedicated Dive & Drive package, a drive-in tank station, and on-site gas blending. Here’s how this pairing turns great dive days into great dive vacations.

Why this pairing works for south-shore divers

• Proximity, perfected: Oasis Guesthouse sits in Belnem, only a couple of minutes from Bonaire’s beautiful southern scuba sites. Wannadive South is also in Belnem at the Grand Windsock Resort, so your pre-dive pickups and post-dive rinse-and-relax are a breeze.
• All the essentials in one loop: Load tanks at the south-side drive-in, tour south-shore sites marked by yellow stones, then rinse and swap tanks back at the shop before unwinding by Oasis’s chlorine-free pool or on a shaded porch.
• Island-wide flexibility: Sign up at either shop and use the facilities at both North (Eden Beach) and South (Grand Windsock). Boat dives to Klein Bonaire depart from Eden Beach, while The Beach is the shore site in front of the south shop—so you can mix shore and boat days easily.
• Eco-friendly vibe: Oasis runs an ecological, chlorine-free pool. Wannadive South is fully powered by solar panels, making it the most ecologically responsible dive shop on the island—great news for sustainability-minded travelers.

Dive & Drive: the Belnem-friendly bundle

Wannadive recommends the Dive & Drive package for south-side stays because it brings together everything you need for focused shore diving:

• Six consecutive days of unlimited air
• Complimentary Nitrox upgrade for certified Nitrox divers
• Weights and weight belt included
• Double-cabin automatic pickup truck for seven days

With Dive & Drive, you can stack multiple south-shore dives into relaxed days, swap tanks fast at the drive-in, and keep logistics simple from first splash to sunset BBQ.

Your south-shore dive flow from Belnem

Here’s a straightforward routine you can repeat day after day:

1. Stop at Wannadive South’s drive-in to load tanks and confirm your plan.
2. Verify your Bonaire National Marine Park Nature Fee is paid (required for all users of the park). Shore sites are clearly marked by yellow stones.
3. Dive two to three south-shore sites, using your pickup to stage tanks and snacks.
4. Return to the south shop for a fresh-water rinse, gear storage, and tank swaps.
5. Head back to Oasis Guesthouse for an ecological-pool cooldown, a shady porch read, and a relaxed communal BBQ.

Pro tip: If you want to add a boat day, schedule it from Wannadive Eden Beach (north). Boats regularly sail to Klein Bonaire’s reefs and drop-offs, then you’re free to return south for more shore time.
