Buddy Dive Resort Bonaire

The resort opened its doors for the first time on August 19, 1980, and itā€™s a sure thing that a lot has happened and changed since then.

When talking to guests who stayed with us before they will most likely have a lot of stories from back in the day, which they can share with you.

Martien van der Valk, head of the Buddy Dive Family looks back: ā€œWhen my wife Ingrid and I obtained Buddy Dive Resort & Watersports back in 2002, the resort only had 46 apartments, a small dive operation with 3 boats and 20 rental cars.ā€
