Flamingo Diving - Klein Bonaire
The team at Flamingo Diving, a PADI 5 Star outfit, are some of the most genuinely friendly people you’ll meet on Bonaire. We love that they’re family-run, and it really shows in the personalised way they approach everything. They’re based on Klein Bonaire, which means their boat dives are quick hops to the island’s quieter west side, usually less than ten minutes. If you’re staying near Kralendijk and want to escape the shore diving crowds for a day, hopping on a boat with Flamingo is a great call. We’ve had some fantastic dives with them on sites like Carl’s Hill and Sharon’s Serenity, where the gorgonians stand tall and the parrotfish crunch away undisturbed. Our favourite thing about them is their relaxed pace; no rushing, just good, easy diving. They’re perfect for divers who appreciate that personal touch over the big, bustling operations.
