MEET THE DIVI DIVE TEAM
Stewards of the Sea
Welcome to Divi Dive, where we consider ourselves more than just dive instructors; we’re stewards of the reefs and the oceans. Our dive philosophy is centered around education and conservation, and we aim to seamlessly incorporate these values into each and every dive.
The Divi Dive team’s dedication to educating divers about the reefs of Bonaire and their natural treasures enriches every dive, making it a profoundly rewarding experience for all who participate. With this philosophy, we ensure that divers leave Bonaire with a deep appreciation for the intricate, colorful underwater world they have the privilege to explore.

DIVI CARES GREEN INITIATIVES
STRAWLESS INITIATIVE
All Divi Resorts destinations have gone strawless in an effort to curb pollution and reduce our carbon footprint.
WATER CONSERVATION PROGRAM
We monitor all water use for pools, guestrooms, kitchens, restaurants, dining areas, and landscaping.
STAFF AWARENESS
Our team members participate in workshops and seminars conducted by environmental committees, local government organizations, and other conservation groups.
ENERGY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
We use timers on our electrical equipment, including air-conditioning units, outdoor lighting for walkways, refrigeration equipment in the kitchens, and more.
HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES
We determine the suitability of all products before they are purchased and provide staff training when new chemicals or equipment are purchased.
SOCIAL & CULTURAL DEVELOPMENT
We promote and sell local tours and attractions, providing special recognition to vendors who use green practices. We also invite local vendors to our resort at least once a week to sell their crafts.
REEF RENEWAL PROJECT
We’ve joined the efforts of the Reef Renewal Foundation Bonaire, a nonprofit organization working to protect and restore Bonaire’s coral reefs. We have added a coral reef nursery at the resort’s famous Calabas house reef, with a capacity of 300 critically endangered Staghorn and Elkhorn coral species. Visitors can support the project by adopting a coral nursery tree or thicket, or by participating in a Reef Renewal Specialty Course as a diver.
ADDITIONAL GREEN PRACTICES
• Donating leftover food to farmers to feed their animals
• Separating glass, cartons, and oil from regular trash
• Digitizing our files to go paperless
• Using solar water heaters
• Producing water from seawater
• Encouraging guests to reuse towels and only replacing used towels placed on the floor
