Resort Diving Operation

Bonaire diving has never been easier or more fun than with our Bonaire Diving Packages. Our scuba diving operation, in conjunction with Capt. Don’s Habitat, is located only 100 steps from Coral Paradise Resort for easy access from your room. Capt. Don’s offers 3 one tank boat departures daily to over 70 moored sights on their custom built, dive boats. Each mooring buoy in Bonaire is limited to 1 boat only so you’ll have the reef all to yourself. Diving Rates are priced per-dive or as part of a complete dive vacation package. -- Total Diving Freedom has always been the concept at Capt. Don’s Habitat. Over 50 world class dives are within a 15 minute boat ride. Scuba Diving Freedom means 24 hours a day, 365 days a year with no rush or anxiety. Take a giant stride off their divers-only pier "baby dock" and you’re already looking at clusters of starlet coral, surrounded by colorful wrasse and gobies, and the drop-off starts in 30 feet, only a few kicks away. Shore diving is a must at Habitat and around the island of Bonaire rated as the top shore diving destination in the world! Following accepted safe diving practices, you can grab a tank and go....whenever you want!

The Habitat Dive Operation is not only a PADI 5-star Instructor Development Center, but also a NAUI Dream Resort, SSI Referral facility, and TDI/SDI Instruction Center equipped to handle all of your certification needs including Rebreathers and Tri-Mix. Choose from over 20 specialty courses! All needed equipment is available for rental or sale in the Captain’s Locker which also has those last minute items you may have forgotten. Photo Services are provided by "Capture Photo" and offers our resort guests a full selection of the latest in photo and video equipment for rent or sale, personalized instruction and private photo shoots. Its also a fun place to hang out and "talk photo" with the friendly photo pros. The Dive Center also rents Ocean Kayaks for the adventuresome.

Habitat is neither pretentious nor regimented. Their multilingual, multicultural, professional resort staff are there to teach, assist, or advise in a relaxed and friendly manner. Whether you’ve been diving for years or are just starting out, our dive services with Capt. Dons Habitat will keep you happy.

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 us keep our reefs healthy for you to enjoy. A $25.00 US fee allows access to the Marine Park for the calendar year as well as entrance to the Washington-Slagbaai National Park (must show tag, paper receipt and photo I.D. at the entrance to the Park). In addition, all other users, i.e. swimmers, snorkeler's, windsurfers, sport fishermen, kite boarders, etc. are required to pay a $10.00 annual fee. This fee also allows holders to enter the Washington-Slagbaai National Park at no extra charge (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 our house reef is also required by the Bonaire National Marine Park prior to any other diving. Habitat conducts this orientation at 9:00 a.m. daily. No diving is permitted without first attending this orientation. There is no diving allowed on the day of your departure.
