 You
won't believe this tour! Our biologist guides you through the
secret world of fish. Snorkel with a marine biologist as a guide.
You'll be picked up at the pier and taken to a classroom where
we'll use slides, books, computers and discussion to learn about
corals, fish cleaning stations, mating strategies of fish,
predator/prey interactions, animals you can touch, and other
bizarre happenings on the coral reef.
After the classroom session, we'll go for a shore snorkel and
discover many of the things we learned about. After spending a
half day with us, you'll be able to identify and understand what
many of those beautiful animals are and what they are doing.
Refreshments and snorkel equipment included. |

A
family walk through the highs and lows of Bonaire the beautiful.
This tour will give you insight in the geological history of the
island, so that you can learn to identify the different landscapes
and rock formations of Bonaire and understand how they were
formed.
The excursion takes you into the wilds of Bonaire. Part of your
time will be spent at several snorkel spots. You need not know how
to swim for this, as these shallow areas require only wading to
see the special sights that Klaas will point out to you.
On the beaches you will learn which organisms form the reefs and
beaches, and while snorkeling (under guidance) you can see even
more of the underwater world.
The geological history of the islands are also explained and made
interesting to all ages, especially when you do a little cave
exploration. Indian inscriptions are pointed out and I think it
always great to educate children and adults in a subtle way.
You will learn that there are different vegetation types on these
different soil types. (How people use them, the smell, flowers and
fruits; birds and lizards that eat them).
Along the way, Klaas serves his homemade tamarind juice as he
shares his binoculars with you |

Go
after the big one... an exciting adventure. Heavy tackle fishing
at its best. There are two reasons to fish on Bonaire, says
our Captain. One is that the calm waters eliminates any possible
seasickness. The second is the fact that the shallows are full of
fish for bone-fishing but they drop off quickly to satisfy the
deep-sea fisherman.
Our captain and his son Thomas, full time sportfishermen, will
take you for deep sea fishing on their 30" Hatteras.
You will fish for: Wahoo, Tuna, Marlin, Sailfish, Dorado,
Barracuda, Jack & Snapper.
Includes all fishing equipment, Fin Nor & Shimano tackle,
outriggers, Penn Reel Down Riggers, service charge, sales tax,
pick-up service, coffee, soft drinks, beer, and sandwiches.
"We catch and release all billfish. On request we also tag
your fish with an official tag from the Bill Fish Foundation. When
the billfish is caught again you will be notified where it was
caught and how much it has grown. We are members of IGFA, the
International Game Fish Association." |

A
guided trip where turtles and coral abound. All this and lunch,
too! The point of departure is very convenient for this
trip. When you arrive, frequently on foot, you are transferred by
small boat to this gorgeous ketch, which resembles a pirate ship.
Enjoy some lemonade or iced tea as you sail to the shore of a
little island. Instructors and guides will be there as you swim,
snorkel and play in the clear blue waters of Bonaire. Starving by
this time, you will reboard the boat for lunch that will satisfy
all. At that time, you can also partake of fruit or rum punch.
This Spanish gunner has been totally restored and will be lots of
fun to explore as you sail back and forth the short distance to
the island.

A
taste of SCUBA diving for kids, 8 years and up. This program
introduces your kids to scuba diving in a pool or confined water
and has a maximum depth limit of six feet / 2 meters.
This is a unique opportunity for children as young as 8 years old
to experience 'being part of marine life'. This is the first step
towards the Padi Junior Open Water Course (as of 10 years).
The owners of this dive operation believe that diving is an
activity for the whole family, and as more and more people feel
that way, they want to provide an opportunity for a shared
adventure activity. They would like you to consider this: they
would not have introduced Bubblemaker, SASY, Junior Scuba Diver
and Junior Open Water Diver programs for children younger than 12
years of age, if they did not feel that decision was appropiate
for their own children.
They follow PADI standards for teaching children to scuba dive, as
well as noting limitations on dive certifications. |

as young as 5 years old can learn to snorkel with a regulator.
Your kids can participate in Supplied Air Snorkeling for Youth (SASY)under

your child will learn to breathe from a regulator while wearing a
floatation device with a depth gauge. With SASY they will feel
like 'real divers' although the children will NOT go under water.
Perfect for children who love to snorkel and be in the water.
