September 28 – October 11, Buddy Dive Resort was the décor for the 12th most significant tec dive event in the Caribbean… Bonaire TeK!
Tec Dive Coordinator Anouck looks back on an amazing event. She says: it has been great to welcome many familiar faces as well as new tec divers. We had approximately 50 divers from all over the world joining us for this fully booked Bonaire TeK!
Ken Head from Extreme Scuba kicked off the event with his presentation about insights on creating a technical diving team and making use of the Scuba Industry.
During the evenings, DAN’s Senior Researcher Dr. Emmannuel Dugrenot, Dive Rite’s Justin Judd as well as Dr. Lucia Rodrigues from Bonaire’s hyperbaric chamber gave interesting lectures in Buddy Dive’s breakfast area, welcoming Buddy Dive guests as well as many Bonaire residents.
Of course, the biggest and best part of the event took place underwater. Anouck and the team took the tec divers to top-notch tec dive sites like Taylor Made, Candyland, and The Windjammer Wreck!
Besides the guided dives, try-outs were being held at Buddy’s Reef, allowing divers to test Dive Rites Choptima, Silent Dive’s Inspiration, and Scubatrons GBM.
During the tec dives, our tec divers battled invasive lionfish on the deep reefs of Bonaire, with a prize given for the catch of the biggest lionfish.
There was not only much to learn for attendees. Anouck, Lars, and Guillermo took a Dive Rite Choptima service clinic!
We are looking back on a fantastic event! Would you like to join Bonaire TeK? Mark your calendars for Bonaire TeK 2025 from September 27 – October 3, 2025
