This is my 4th trip with Atlantic Edge, & I've come to learn that there are great trips in general, & there are great DIVE trips, & the AE trip to Bonaire is a fantastic example of both! With so many options for where & when to dive, Deb & Terry put a huge amount of effort into herding all 24 of us cats on the trip, & from my perspective it absolutely paid off. Bonaire & Buddy Dive Resort are a great place that caters to the needs of whatever a diver might want to do, whether that's getting up early to step into the water right onsite, or taking your rental truck to any of dozens of sites around the island at any other time of your choosing, the only things limiting you are your motivation & N2 limits. Fair warning though: some of the shore entries can be a bit challenging, so you'll want to be fit enough to carry your gear over some rough rocks through moderate surf to get in & out. However, once you are in, the conditions are excellent: warm, good visibility, gentle currents, & lots to see! If you need a break from diving, you could venture into town for an assortment of other distractions, but the food & hospitality at Buddy Dive was plenty to keep me happy with lively evenings eating & drinking with my fellow travelers. It may sound corny, but every time I travel with AE, I reunite with familiar faces & make new friends, & I will definitely be signing up for more.

This was a really great trip. Terry Wells and Debbie Goldstein did a great job organizing and getting all of our divers out every day. The only downside was for those who traveled on American and got stranded for an extra night in Bonaire due to mechanical difficulties with the plane.

We had a great time - wonderful people, delicious food, & nice accommodations. Ciara put in a lot of work planning so everything went smoothly, & our guides from Arctic Adventures took great care of us once we got there. Although the weather cancelled our ocean dives, AA went the extra mile to ensure the rest of our visit to Iceland exceeded expectations - waterfalls, geysers, hot springs, glaciers, lava tunnels, the Northern Lights, diving the Silfra Fissure, & more were all accompanied by informative, entertaining, & humorous commentary as we toured the southwestern regions of the country. Each night, the Grandi hotel in Reykjavik served as our home base to explore the city & find uncountable places for delicious food of all types, with plenty more attractions of its own. This trip provided a unique experience for divers & an equally enjoyable time for the non-divers in our group. I would definitely do it again in a heartbeat.
