Divers that have been will rant and rave about the easy diving in Bonaire. You can dive as much or little as you want with no extra charges. It's quite literally unlimited diving.
Each room comes with a rental truck, daily breakfast buffet, and unlimited nitrox (or air) tanks so you can dive as much as your heart desires. It's not unheard of for our divers to get 6+ dives in on a single day. But you have complete freedom to dive as much or little as you want.
Here is a sample dive schedule for a hardcore diver: (6 dives a day)
Dawn dive - Get up early and complete a dive on the house reef as the sun is rising.
Breakfast followed but tank pickup at the drive-thru tank area
Two shore dives before lunch - Return to resort, drop off empty tanks, grab two more and head to your apartment for some quick lunch
Lunch Break
Two shore dives after lunch - Return to the resort and offload empty tanks and load full tanks for the next day
Dinner - Either at the resorts restaurant, in town, or something you make in your apartment
Night Dive at the house reef
Our trip will be lead by team member and PADI Instructor Andrew Yeskie. "Andy" has been to Bonaire multiple times and can lead you to the best shore dive spots for a great trip! He will also share all the rest of his tips and tricks to make your trip a memorable one.

Join Southern Maryland Divers on this epic, once in a lifetime "bucket list" trip to the Philippines in 2025! This will be our second trip to the Philippines and this is one you don't want to miss. We have set the trip date out far enough so that you can save and plan. This trip is not to be missed and will surely be one for the books. We'll be diving with the premier dive operation in the country known for five world-class valet dives per day, fine accommodations, gourmet meals and concierge service. With two weeks of diving, you will have the opportunity to see the best that the Philippines has to offer.
Our group will arrive in Manila and be transported via private transportation to the Atlantis Dive Resort in Puerto Galera. We will spend the next week diving at the resort. We will then transfer to the Atlantis Dumaguete Resort for a 2nd week of amazing diving.
IT'S ESTIMATED THAT IF YOU PARTICIPATE IN ALL THE DIVES, WE CAN GET UP TO 65+ DIVES ON THIS TRIP!
