We have strong dive boots for you to wear. This way it is easy to walk over the rocks toward the ocean.

It ‘s fully up to you how long you dive and how many dives you do.

Can I combine fishing and snorkeling in one trip?

For the casual angler or mixed family groups, this is an ideal way to go.  

Combine a fishing expedition with time to snorkel, swim, and hang out on the beach with your private Yellowfin Bonaire tour. 

Feel free to share your plans with the captain ahead, so he can choose the best places. 

How long do we dive?

The dive time varies. This depends on your air use, experiences, and depth. 

We will dive as long as possible. 
Each dive we will be around 1 hour underwater. 

What is the cancellation policy?

No-Show-No-Call will be charged the full amount for the dive. 

If you cancel within 24 hours of the dive you will be charged the full amount of the dive.

The dive instructor may cancel the dive  for weather at any time. You will be rescheduled or refunded if unable to reschedule. Only the dive instructor may cancel for weather.

If you cancel between 72 hours and 24 hours you will receive a Yellowfin Bonaire gift card or reschedule for another date in the future.

If you cancel more than 72 hours before the dive you will receive a full refund.

The real point is that we want to take you diving, we don’t want to charge you and not take you diving. But if you cancel last minute you leave the dive instructor onshore without someone to go diving with. Within the 24-hour window, they likely passed up the opportunity to take someone else.
Let’s just go diving !

TESTIMONIALS

I had a great time doing the discotery scuba dive with Noustha. As an inexperienced diver, she made sure I knew everything that I needed to know for this experience. Noustha has a lot of experience and made the dive very relaxed. I enjoyed it a lot.
