Bonaire offers year-round freediving with seasonal differences in water temperature and surface conditions. The water temperature varies between 26C and 28C (77F-84F). Visibility ranges from a minimum of 20m (60ft) to virtually unlimited. Swells and heavy rainfall may influence visibility, but typically it clears again very quickly. Due to the rocky of the coastal zone, some shore freediving are not easy . Therefore all freediving activities must be under the supervision of one of our instructors . Their expertise contributes to a safe, convenient and informative diving experience.
From Boat freediving trips.
The boat trips start at 9 am from our location in Fort Bay and as standard are run in groups no bigger than 6. If you have more people then please contact us to discuss your needs.
The exceptional character of the underwater world of Saba comes from its volcanic origins. The seabed is highly varied. You will find bizarre looking pinnacles in one place and the next you will see lava tunnels with warm water currents which attract specific kind of fish.
The pinnacles are a rarity. The rock formations Third Encounter, twilight Zone, Outer Limits and Shark Shoals are particularly remarkable. From unfathomable depths, they stick straight up until daylight reaches their summits. If you steer a middle course between the lava rocks and the ladder labyrinth, you will feel you are in a maze. Freedivers miss nothing. Visibility is sometimes over 90 meters.
Saba Freediving School Is all about finding relaxation and enjoyment in the water, which is essential whether you are a recreational freediver, or intend to train seriously for depth increase. Being calm in the water – and knowing how to create that state in your mind and body every time – is the most important part of making a successful and beautiful dive.
