We have dove with Buddies 4 times now and dive Nitrox every time (we will be back there in May!). They have a DNA membrane system (pre-blended). They have 32% and 36% available. You just go through the drive through air fill station, analyze your tanks and off you go. They also have Nitrox available at their dock for shore dives there.

Hope this helps!

Don't apologize for asking questions-this board is for sharing information! Our first trip to Bonaire (we've been on 3) was put together because of this board, and it was, of course, wonderful. Get the information you need, then when you get back-share what you've discovered. It's what it's all about.

We were swell with Buddy's nitrox while we were there in the summer of year one. I advise getting a couple of "box lockers" right by the drive through for your gear, makes shore diving a lot easier, and you might even be tempted to do a night shore dive!

Would it be a good idea to bring your own oxygen analyzer? How does the drive through nitrox work?

No need to bring your own analyzer. They have an analyzer right there in the drive through that is very reliable. You drive up, pick up how many tanks you want, check the pressure, analyze each one, record the tanks you took along with the nitrox percentage and you are off. Very easy and convenient. They also have an analyzer at the dock too.

Hope this helps!
