Hi, i don´t see many reports of people staying at Buddy Dive. Is there a problem there?

By George Neckar (BonaireTalker - Post #30) on Wednesday, January 5, 2011 - 7:57 am: |
We have stayed at Buddy Dive numerous times. The rooms are clean with maid service daily. The dive packages they offer are reasonable. Rental cars are fairly new. This is not a 5 star resort if that is what you are looking for. All of the staff are very friendly and will assist you if you need anything. Happy hour at the bar is $1.50 Brights. Diving is very good off of there dock. Look at there web site for further info. GEO

Just returned from our 12th trip at Buddy Dive. We really enjoy the resort and staff. I agree, the resort is not a 5 star resort but more of a laid back place to stay. We have taken a laptop numerous times without a problem. We always take the usual precautions (lock the room, don't leave the PC where it can be seen from the windows, etc)and suggest you do the same.

Just curious, does BD have a safe in the room?
|
By Dean Botsford (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #439) on Wednesday, January 5, 2011 - 4:05 pm: |
Yes. My memory of the safe size is about 4 or 5 inches deep, about 5 or 6 high and about 10 or 12 inches long. You can send an e-mail to Buddy's for the actual dimensions.

It sits on the best house reef on the island, in my estimation...

i don't know about that barbara, i'd have to give the house reef at black durgon (small wall) higher marks. but the reef at buddy is still pretty darn good.

Pat, we're talking angel food cake or chocolate eclair here....I agree that Small Wall is rilly, rilly good. I think Bari is bigger....more opportunities to go this way and that.

Guilherme Losch, it sounds like you are arriving the week before we are in March. We will arrive for our first trip to BON on the 12th.

Hi, it will be my first trip there too! 53 days and i´m not counting too. LOL

The problem with Small Wall, at the Durgon, is that you can only dive it by boat, unless you are staying there. Al does not open his arms to visitors. LOL Unless you know a secret way Pat. LOL

Rona..Absolutely, you have every right with respect to your policies on ingress & egress of your property by the general public. The first priority should be (and I see is) for your private guests.

By Dean Botsford (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #440) on Saturday, January 15, 2011 - 5:41 am: |
We simply do a 10 minute slow surface swim to Small Wall from Buddy Dive. It is usually the second dive of the day after we have determined that the current at depth (such as it is) is running from the North to the South. Then we have a dive on the wall and a bit of an assisted swim/drift back to Buddy.

I'm actually sitting at Buddy Dive as we speak - here's my take.

Buddy's website worked fine last night, but they have been having periodic outages. Keep trying, you'll eventually get in.
