Buddy Dive Resort looks back on a great 11th edition of Bonaire TeK
September 24 – October 1, 2022, Buddy Dive Resort turned into a tec diving paradise once again! The 11th edition of Bonaire TeK was one to remember.
During the most significant technical diving event in the Caribbean, our guests enjoyed demos and tryouts with the newest equipment, presentations from renowned names in the industry, and lots of exciting and fun tec dives. Buddy Dive welcomed guest speakers and presenters from DAN, Shearwater, DiveRite, FATHOM dive systems and Sonardyne.
Bonaire TeK thrives to bring together tec divers from all over the world, creating a community and initiating new partnerships. This year, Sonardyne, Shearwater and the Dutch Navy joined forces to test in-water dive tracking capabilities.
Bonaire TeK is a great platform for suppliers and retailers to show the best they have got to offer. Informing about their products firsthand and letting guests try their newest gear and equipment. Our longtime partner and supplier of (part of) our rental and staff gear, DiveRite, was there showcasing their latest gear and offering demos with their DiveRite O2ptima CCR.
Our divers got to go out by boat as well as from shore to experience some amazing deep dives both on the North West corner of Klein Bonaire and on the deep wreck of “The Windjammer”.
In the evening guests gathered for interesting presentations such as:
- The tools of exploration by Charles Roberson;
- The basics of cave diving by Jared Hires
- Innovations in electronic communication protocols in diving by Gabriel Pineda from Shearwater and James van Rossum/John D. Houlder both from Sonardyne

We’re thrilled to announce the final addition to our new Scubaverse Underwater Photography Team: multi-award-winning underwater filmmaker and photographer Jacob Guy.
Like Shannon Moran, who we announced as one of our new underwater photography team members yesterday, Jacob represents the next generation of underwater image-makers, bringing fresh energy and a seriously impressive set of credentials to the team. A Fourth Element ambassador, teacher at The Underwater Club, and co-founder of 71%, Jacob is passionate about conservation and natural history storytelling, using his lens to inspire a deeper connection to the ocean.
Jacob has filmed and self-produced award-winning documentaries and worked as a photo and video pro in Lembeh and on liveaboards throughout Indonesia. Most recently, he was named Young Ocean Photographer of the Year, further cementing his reputation as one of the most exciting emerging talents in underwater media today.
You may already be familiar with his compelling work across social media, where he shares his ocean adventures via @JacobGuy.media.
“I’m really excited to be joining the team at Scubaverse,” said Jacob.
“And I couldn’t be happier to have him onboard,” said Scubaverse founder, Dave Alexander. “Jacob is part of a bold new wave of underwater storytellers—and I’m delighted that Scubaverse can be part of his journey as he continues to make waves in the world of diving and underwater photography.”
