There is a seaside promenade that leads to town and provides a gorgeous view of the ocean, Klein Bonaire, and the sailing yachts that are moored just offshore. Our facilities include a large main building with several outbuildings.

 

Clothes lines

In the back of the residence building you'll find a large semi covered area which is used for drying dive gear and clothes. There are outside showers and a wash tank for dive gear.

 

Bike rack

Most students purchase a bicycle so they can get around Bonaire. The bikes are usually sold to the next lot of students coming to Bonaire so if you'd like to buy one let us know!

 

 

Dive locker

The dive locker is where students store their dive gear. It locks and has an alarm system for extra security.
