Three of Bonaire’s top resorts are proud to announce that unlimited Nitrox is standard included in their dive/air packages as of the coming 2007/2008 season that commences in December 2007.


Buddy Dive Resort, Belmar Oceanfront Apartments and Caribbean Club Bonaire are all part of Solar Management that operates those three top (dive) resorts and markets them under their own unique name. “What our resorts have in common is that they can all be defined as providing an excellent value-for-money ratio with outstanding (dive) operations and services while the personal attention of our staff makes the difference” says Ruud van Baal, Managing Director of Solar Management.


“With the increasing demand of our guest for Nitrox we found it was time to include Nitrox standard in all our packages. For those that are not Nitrox certified yet we offer a Nitrox course for only an amazing US$ 79,--.* This new feature, together with the constant strive for improvement and perfection in every aspect of our properties and operations, will keep us at the top of Bonaire (dive) resorts” adds van Baal.
