Activities

Below you will find an overview of all activities Twilight Diving has to offer. All dives (except for blackwater) are conducted from shore. Please be informed that the rates do not include personal diving equipment and tanks. Lights will be provided by me. If you would like to have more information about the activities and/or would like to make a reservation, please get in touch!

Night boat diving: If you rather go out by boat, this is available on request and at a surcharge. Please note for night boat dives a minimum of 2 divers is required. 

Twilight Dive

This dive is especially for ‘new’ night divers. After a detailed briefing we’re starting the dive around sunset so there’s still some daylight. While under water the day slowly turns into the night and you will see the reef is changing too. It’s an interesting time on the reef since some marine life is going to sleep while others get active.

 

Rate: $60,- per person

Regular Night Dive

After sunset there has been a transformation under water. With your dive light you are more focussed and the reef literally comes to life. It appears to be more beautiful and colorful. Also you’ll start noticing all the small shiny eyes and movements in and around the coral heads. It’s a mysterious and exciting experience, not te be missed!

Rate: $60,- per person

Macro Night Dive

We all know that Bonaire is the ‘shore diving capital’ of the world. But did you know it’s also considered the macro capital of the Caribbean? During this night dive we’re focused on looking for the smallest nocturnal critters like: crabs / shrimps / nudibranchs / small morays / small scorpionfish, and anything else we can find! 

Recommended for the enthusiastic macro-lover/photographer. It’s required you have done some night dives before and good buoyancy control is a must!

Rate: $60,- per person

Ostracods Night Dive

Each month after full moon this unique phenomenon can be seen here on Bonaire! It’s only visible for a short period of time so we have to be in the water at exactly the right moment. Words can’t really describe the experience you will get during this dive. Even the video doesn’t do justice, since they are so hard to capture. Imagine you are being surrounded by thousands of ocean fireflies. 

It’s required that you have done some night dives before and good buoyancy control is a must!

Rate: $60,- per person

Blue light Night Dive

Armed with blue lights and yellow filters you will get to explore the reef in a completely different way. The reefs turn into a glow-in-the-dark environment. It’s almost surreal with all the bright fluorescent colors. 

Rate: $60,- per person

blackwater Night Dive

Are you ready to take a leap into the ‘bottomless’ ocean? Blackwater diving is truly an out-of-space experience and for the first time offered on Bonaire.  It’s actually a shallow dive conducted from a boat. At night planktonic animals will arise from the deep in search for food. It’s guaranteed you will see something you have never seen before!

Experienced night divers only, good buoyancy control is a must!

Rate: $100,- per person

Bonfire Night Dive

Does blackwater sound a bit too exhilarating but you do want to experience something similar?  Or you don’t fancy going out with a boat? Then a bonfire dive may be something for you! Bonfire dives are done from shore and close to the reef.  You’ll get the same effect but we look more for final larval stages of our favorite reef creatures.

Recommended for the enthusiastic macro-lover/photographer. It’s required you have done some night dives before and good buoyancy control is a must!

Rate: $60,- per person

Night Snorkel

You don’t have a diving certification but still want to explore the reef at night? Then the ‘night snorkel’ is something for you! We will provide the lights and take you out to an area which suits your experience and needs. 

Rate: $60,- per person
