We are staying at Belmar and diving with the local opp Buddy Dive. If we are diving the northern part of the island can we freely exchange tanks at the Buddy Dive hotel location? In addition can we dive from the Buddy dock at no charge?

Yes

Eric, Buddy's doesn't charge a fee to dive off the dock. Capt. Don's does($5). You will get a air card when you check in and it is good at any Buddy Dive shop on the Island. Have fun and dive safe... Ron

Ron, what locations other than Buddy Dive and Belmar has tanks available for Buddy Dive guests? I never thought about trading tanks at Belmar, but it could save some time.

Edward

Caribbean Club(oil slisk leep). Bonaire Oceanfront Apartments(next to Bobbejan's) also have Buddy Dive tanks for use by all... Ron

Ron

Just to be clear Don's does not charge a fee for for shore diving if you use the steps just north of the Dive Shop. But if you want to use the dock and facilities that us paying guests use then yes they want to control this.

Thanks Ron! We'll try them out in September.
