Celebrate Brazil Above Water. Explore Bonaire Below.
September 4-11, 2027 · Buddy Dive Resort Bonaire
This September, Brazil meets Bonaire for an unforgettable week of diving, discovery, music, food, and community.
In celebration of Brazilian Independence Day, Buddy Dive Resort transforms into a vibrant home away from home for Brazilian divers, dive clubs, families, and ocean lovers. With Portuguese as the working language throughout the week, you will connect with fellow Brazilian divers, enjoy authentic Brazilian flavors and sounds, and share unforgettable moments both above and below the surface.
And beneath it all? Bonaire.
World-class boat diving. Unlimited shore diving. Crystal-clear Caribbean waters. And an underwater world waiting to be explored.
Come for the diving. Stay for the people. Celebrate like you are home.
One Week. Two Worlds. Endless Adventures.
From the moment you arrive at Buddy Dive Resort, Brazilian Dive Week is all about diving, discovery and connection. Spend your days exploring the underwater world of Bonaire and your evenings sharing great food, music and stories with fellow Brazilian divers.
Get ready to discover some of Bonaire’s legendary dive sites on guided two-tank boat dives, then continue exploring at your own pace with unlimited shore diving and the famous Buddy Dive house reef. Whether you are looking for incredible marine life, new underwater experiences, or simply the freedom to dive whenever you want, Bonaire offers something new around every corner.
And there is more to discover beyond the reef. Join our fun underwater species-spotting challenge, put your observation skills to the test and see how many of Bonaire’s fascinating underwater residents you can find along the way. It is a chance to explore, learn and share the experience with fellow divers.
On September 7, the Caribbean turns Brazilian as we come together to celebrate Brazilian Independence Day. Expect a special celebration, a group photo and a unique underwater Brazilian flag dive, creating a memorable moment that brings our shared passion for Brazil and the ocean together.
When the sun goes down, the celebration continues. Enjoy Brazilian-inspired food, music, themed evenings and cultural gatherings, all designed to create a warm and welcoming home away from home. Because Brazilian Dive Week is not just about what happens underwater; it is about the people you meet, the stories you share and the memories you take home.
One week. One incredible island. A whole community of Brazilian divers.
