Bonaire at Captain Don's June 7-14, 2025

Welcome to your underwater paradise. With abundant marine life, over 80 official dive sites, and breathtaking views, you’ll never want to leave. Bonaire is often referred to as the shore diving capital of the world. Its crystal-clear waters are perfect for any diver at any level.  

Bonaire is an island municipality of the Netherlands and lies off the coast of Venezuela in the southern Caribbean. It is a part of the ABC Islands, Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao, and one of the three westernmost islands of the Leeward Antilles. 

The southern part of the island is mostly flat while the northern side is hilly with it’s peak reaching 787 feet high. Around 70% of the island’s surface is coral limestone. The capital, Kralendijk, which translates to “coral reef” is a small town that boasts well-preserved Caribbean architecture.

The calm waters allow novice divers to swim parallel to the shore with minimal currents. Advanced divers will enjoy unlimited shore dives and freedom to explore the ocean floor. 

Each dive site in Bonaire is marked with a large yellow rock with the site name painted on it. This makes it easy for you to hop in the car and drive to your next site easily. You’re on island time now and the sea is yours.

Captain Don’s Habitat

Captain Don’s Habitat was created by none other than Captain Don himself. His passion for marine conservation led to the creation of the permanent mooring system and eventually to the Bonaire National Marine Park. 

Captain Don’s Habitat was the first resort on the island to install a state of the art wastewater treatment system designed by marine biologists of Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute, where the treated water is tested on a quarterly basis and shows a major removal of harmful nutrients that might otherwise end up on the reefs causing damage to our corals.  The treated water is then utilized to irrigate our lush gardens that not only provide a wonderful aesthetic atmosphere to the resort but the lush vegetation also help to protect the fragile reefs by up-taking and utilizing nutrients that could be harmful to the corals. No fertilizers of any kind are used in the maintenance of the gardens. Read more about Captain Don’s conservation efforts here.
