Join Us in Bonaire in 2025!
Thermocline and Area 9 Mastery Diving Research Center are your hosts for 2 weeks of amazing adventure from October 18 - November 1, 2025 in the shore diving capital of the world!
Stay for one week or two...
Pricing is based on double occupancy and includes a week of unlimited nitrox diving. DPV rentals, trimix, and boat diving are priced separately and available. One week is $1750 USD. We recommend you make a stop at the local supermarket and pick up all you need for some amazing meals for the week and then take advantage of the commercial grade ice maker to keep your drinks cold! It's also a good idea to rent a small truck to get around to all the dive sites. They are usually about $35 a day and seat 4. In order to book your trip, we have arranged a special deal with Area 9 and we will need a $500 USD deposit upon booking with the balance due by July 1, 2025. There are only 8 spaces available so we expect them to be snapped up fast.
All Packages Include Accommodation and Unlimited Nitrox Diving
Area9 has a complete selection of single and double cylinders, countless stage cylingers and JJ CCR Canisters and bailout cylinders. Their state-of-the-art fill station is equipped for all GUE standard gases.
A Private 5-Star Resort for Divers
When we say private - we mean it. With four suites, a shared gourmet kitchen, BBQ, wood-fired pizza oven (we're not joking), an infinity pool, and Bonaire's longest lap pool - Area9 is the perfect place to dive and unwind.
Some things to know about Bonaire...
Bonaire is a shore divers paradise. If you haven't been there before, we recommend you rent a truck (they usually have four doors so to fit four divers) and then you can drive to all the shore dives on Bonaire and walk into the surf and spend an hour in paradise. Boat dives are not necessary unless you want to dive on Klein Bonaire or you have some other unique plans. There are some spectacular restaurants in Bonaire if you don't want to use the chef's kitchen or maybe just want to go out for an evening. Bonaire is very European in nature and most everyone speaks English. If you have an afternoon of non-diving, you can take a drive through the park in the North or visit the donkey sanctuary! The water is usually the warmest in the Caribbean and you should expect temperatures in the 87 F or 31 C during the end of October. Bring a hat and some sunscreen!
If you want to use this opportunity for a GUE class, we can help
Bonaire is a terrific place for GUE training and Area 9 is a premier GUE facility. The logistics are as easy as it gets and the warm water lends itself to lots of time spent underwater doing what makes divers better: diving. Contact us below to discuss class opportunities ranging from GUE Fundamentals to CCR 2 and everything in between.
I'd like more information about class opportunities!
