Road-Ready: A Simple Map for Reaching Wannadive North & South is designed to help you get where you need to go without stress, whether you are picking up tanks, meeting for instruction, or planning your next shore diving outing.
With two full service dive shops, one south of town and one north of town, Wannadive gives guests flexible access across Bonaire. In this guide, you will find the exact addresses, practical orientation tips, contact details, and a simple overview of how to use both locations with ease.
Where are Wannadive North and South?
Wannadive operates from two locations on Bonaire:
- Wannadive north — Eden Beach
Boulevard Gob. Debrot 73, Bonaire, Kralendijk, Caribbean Netherlands - Wannadive south — Grand Windsock resort
3 EEG Boulevard, Kralendijk, Caribbean Netherlands
Both shops are available to guests, no matter where they stay or where they sign up. That flexibility is especially useful for divers who want convenient access to different parts of the island and to Bonaire’s well-known shore diving.

Opening hours
Both locations are open:
- Daily from 8:00 – 17:00
That consistent schedule makes it easier to plan tank pickups, dive check-ins, equipment questions, and training throughout your stay.
A simple way to think about the two locations
If you want an easy mental map, think of the two shops like this:
Wannadive North
Wannadive north is located at Eden Beach. This is the northern shop location listed for guests who want service on that side of town.
Wannadive South
Wannadive south is located at Grand Windsock resort. This is the southern shop location listed for guests who want service on that side of town.
This north-and-south setup helps reduce unnecessary backtracking and makes it easier to organize your dive day around where you are staying or where you plan to enter the water.
Why the two-shop setup matters
A two-location dive operation is practical for a destination known for shore diving. It gives divers more flexibility in how they structure each day.
Here is why that matters:
- Convenience: You can choose the shop that best matches your plans.
- Efficiency: Less driving can mean more time getting ready for the water.
- Flexibility: Both shops are available to you, regardless of where you signed up.
- Better trip flow: It becomes easier to coordinate equipment, instruction, and daily diving plans.
Wannadive describes both locations as full service dive shops, and its facilities serve guests with diving needs such as the shop, classroom, boats, tank station, and pool.
What you can handle at the shops
When planning your route, it helps to know what these locations support. Wannadive offers a broad range of dive services, including:
- Diver education, from first steps through dive instructor
- Retail shop access
- Dive equipment rental
- Expert equipment repair
- Dive drive in stations
- A large stock of tanks in different configurations
- Boat and guided diving
- Parking, storage rooms, showers, and rinse basins
This means your drive to either location may be for much more than check-in. You may be arriving for a course, a rental pickup, tank exchange, a guided dive arrangement, or preparation for a boat trip.
Tank and gear details to know before you drive
For many divers, the fastest way to avoid delays is to confirm the practical details before arriving. Wannadive offers:
- Air and Nitrox 32%
- Din and international (yoke) connections
- 10 Liter (63CFT) and 12 Liter (80CFT) tanks
If you are planning multiple dives, these details matter. Knowing your preferred tank size and valve connection in advance can help streamline your stop.
Do you need to visit before your first dive?
In many cases, yes. Bonaire National Marine Park requires all divers to:
- Attend the Bonaire Marine Park orientation
- Complete a short buoyancy dive
This check helps confirm that you are properly weighted and that your equipment is functioning properly. The orientation dive can be done with or without a dive guide.
If you want to schedule that dive with a guide, contact Wannadive directly at info@wannadive.com.
This is an important planning point for anyone using Road-Ready: A Simple Map for Reaching Wannadive North & South as part of arrival-day logistics. Before setting off for a full diving schedule, make sure your orientation requirements are accounted for.
What if it has been a while since you last dived?
If you have not been diving for over a year, Wannadive strongly recommends a refresher course.
The refresher is described as a 2,5 hour program that includes:
- A review of basic diving theory
- A refresh of diving skills
- A weight check in the ocean
- A gear check in the ocean
- A dive
For returning divers, that can be a smart first stop before building a full dive itinerary.
How to choose the best shop for your day
The simplest approach is to match your shop visit to your location and schedule.
Choose Wannadive North if:
- You want the Eden Beach location
- You prefer the north-side shop for your day’s plans

Choose Wannadive South if:
