Cruise plus diving. - Aruba, Bonaire, Curacao

[Marty Bess]

We have a Carnival Cruise booked to Aruba, Bonaire, Curacao this summer. We would love to dive all 3 islands. Carnival only offers diving @ Aruba. Any suggestions on dive shops that will work with divers off a cruise ship at those locations??
Thank you!!

In Bonaire the cruise ship dock is pretty close to a couple of shops. Walking distance to the

DIVE INN​

Dive Friends Bonaire @ Dive Inn is a dive center near the cruise ship docks. It offers snorkel boat trips, canoe and sup rental, and more. You can also dive the beautiful house reef Chachacha when there is no cruise ship docked.
Address: EEG Boulevard 97
Opening hours: 7 days a week from 8 AM to 5 PM

problem with that one is that you are so close the ship that diving there when the cruise ship is port is a problem.

If were you I would get a hold of the dive ship at Divi Dive at the Divi resort nearby and see if you can organize a boat trip. You'd be able to walk to the resort.

I dove with the Dive Bus while on Curacao during a cruise. Took a cheap cab there and back. They have a reef right across the street with an easy beach entry. Well worth the time and money.
