Bruce Bowker's Carib Inn

Wow! What a dive outfit. I went diving with Bruce Bowker's Carib Inn dive group multiple times and each time they were great! The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. The boats ran well and got us to the dive spots quickly. And accommodated all of our needs. Great service.

I've been coming to Bonaire for years and have tried diving with several different dive centers on the island. Since my buddy first introduced me to the Carib Inn 4 years ago, I've never looked back! ||At the Carib Inn it always feels like the best possible mix of personal warmth, professionalism and fun. The staff is super friendly, and they hold your experience and safety in their highest regard. When there's an issue with your equipment, they are so fast to repair it! And afterwards they're authentically happy for you to be able to get back into the water again. My partner and I have both done courses with the Carib Inn, and we were thrilled with the attention to detail and thoroughness of their trainings.||This place is run with a deep love for the oceans and the underwater world. The staff loves every critter and coral, and they are always happy to share their knowledge and sightings. What I absolutely love is that you will never feel rushed when diving with the Carib Inn. This is radically different from the other dive centers I've gone with, which will cut your dives short or put serious limits on your diving time. Diving with the Carib Inn is always so spacious and relaxed, which truly makes for the best diving experiences! ||Over the years I've come to notice how many repeat visitors there are at the Carib Inn. For the past few Christmases I've been boat diving with a lot of the same visitors, who grow into dive buddies that we see back time and again. This really says everything about how amazing this place is! Without a doubt, the Carib Inn is my favorite dive center on Bonaire!

Chris, the hardware guy, is amazing! Our first and second stage were deeply in need of servicing; I could not get it done in the US because the Cressi kits were out of stock (we waited 3 months!). Chris got it all done in a day and we were back out in the water pronto!

Quiet seaside dive resort. Our room was very basic and economical. With microwave, coffee machine, serving ware, and good size fridge. I learned how to hard boil eggs in a microwave. A/C and ceiling worked well. Hot water showers. Staff super friendly and supportive. Has a nice pool and dock structure to enjoy. Good location. On site parking. Adequate for shorter stays, and we stayed 8 nights. Would stay again for dive certification.

I had a problem with my aqualung regulator and he knew just what to do. It took him just a few minutes to fix and he didn't charge me for the time. Great guys. Very friendly and knowledgeable.

Me and my partner have just finished up a fantastic stay at the Carib Inn. Rooms are lovely, staff so nice and eager to help and to just chat about all things diving. Also in a fantastic location as it’s just a short walk to the town centre and its beach front 😁 Definitely recommend

Family owned family feel. Small resort right on the water. Great full service dive shop. Two boat trips a day $25 a trip. Gorgeous reef right in front of the resort. No food or bar at the resort but plenty within walking distance. The same customers come back year after year a doctor I met there was on her 33rd year. I’m going back with 5 friends in march. Not the most luxurious but spacious clean and cool good WiFi too.

As said in other reviews, friendliness place on the island. The culture at the Inn has not changed in the 30 years we have been diving on Bonaire. Competance combined with sincere friendliness makes for a carefree and enjoyable stay. The staff are just plain fun. One of the most remarkable characteristics about the Inn is the number of repeat visitors. Hardly a stay goes by without connecting with guests we have met on previous trips. We even have a group of 8 from different parts of the country that schedule at the same time each year to dive and catch up with our lives. We all met at the Inn on previous trips and quickly found out that we chose this place for the same reasons. My calendar will continue to revolve around the most fun and relaxing place and time.
