Dive Information
Bonaire National Marine Park
All the beautiful waters around Bonaire are designated as a Marine Park. The fact that anchoring, spearfishing, touching the corals, and removing anything from the reef is prohibited helps keep the reefs healthy for all to enjoy.
A $25 fee allows guest to access to the Marine Park for the calendar year as well as entrance to the Washington-Slagbaai National Park (you must show tag, paper receipt and photo I.D. at the entrance to the Park).
The Bonaire National Marine Park requires Bonaire Dive Operators to provide a brief orientation to anyone who has not been to Bonaire within the same calendar year before you are allowed to dive.
A shore warm-up dive on the house reef is also required by the Bonaire National Marine Park prior to any other diving. Habitat conducts this orientation at 9:00 AM daily.
No diving is permitted without first attending this orientation. If you arrive early in the afternoon, staffing permitting, an orientation will be provided for you so that you may dive that afternoon. Packages do not include diving on day of arrival.
Dive Center Information
Captain Don's Habitat Dive Center Overview
Captain Don’s Habitat Dive Operation is a PADI Resort and an SDI 5 Star Professional Development Center. Habitat is neither pretentious nor regimented. The multilingual, multicultural, professional staff are there to teach, assist, or advise in a relaxed and friendly manner.
Habitat is centrally located within the resort complex for easy access from all rooms. It has three 1-tank boat departures daily: at 8.30 AM, 11 AM and 2 PM. The boat dives go to over 70 moored sights on our custom built dive boats. Each mooring buoy is limited to 1 boat so you’ll have the reef all to yourself.
Total Diving Freedom has always been the concept behind diving at Captain Don’s Habitat. Over 50 world class dives are within a 15-minute boat ride. Diving Freedom means 24 hours a day, 365 days a year with no rush or anxiety.
Photo Services are also available, provided by BonPhoto, who offers guests a full selection of the latest in photo and video equipment for rent or sale, and gives personalized instruction and private photo shoots.
