Wannadive Bonaire is located on three oceanfront properties:
Eden Beach Resort, Windsock Beack resort and City Café and Accomodations.
Eden Beach Resort is located 5 minutes north of the capital of Bonaire, City Café can be found right in the center of town and Windsock can be find just south of the airport.
What is the weather like?You can expect very sunny weather year round! The weather is extremely stable with temperatures almost never dipping below 75 degrees Fahrenheit/ 20 degrees Celsius in "winter", and seldom higher than 95 degrees Fahrenheit/ 35 degrees Celsius in summer. As a consequence the water never gets colder than 75 degrees, even at depth! Complementary of the weather gods, Bonaire is laced by constant trade winds that make our climate extremely enjoyable.
What time is it??
Bonaire is in the same timezone as New York. Official GMT -5, execpt Bonaire doesn't have DST.
Shopping?Located right between our two locations is a small convenience store for your first needs. Larger grocery stores are in town, about a five minute drive. There you also find all kinds of other shopping. What about night life?
Bonaire is not exactly known for its' spectacular night life. However, there are some cozy little bars in town and there are two casino's. There are plenty of good restaurants to choose from and given the fact that everything needs to be imported, reasonably priced.
Wetsuits anyone?
We have seen just about anything. People attempting to kill themselves trying to put on seven mill. wet suits in 95 degree heat and people wearing nothing but a T-shirt getting too cold at the end of a dive. Basically in winter we recommend some protection such as a shorty or a three mill. full length suit. In summer a shorty or a diveskin should be sufficient.
