Bonaire Divi Flamingo

February 28 - March 7, 2026

Escape to the Caribbean’s premier diving destination and experience the underwater magic of Bonaire. With its vibrant coral reefs, crystal-clear waters, and incredible marine biodiversity, Bonaire is a diver’s dream. From the moment you descend into the calm, warm waters, you’ll be surrounded by dazzling reef fish, graceful sea turtles, and thriving coral gardens. With easy shore diving right from Divi Flamingo’s dock and world-class dive sites just minutes away, every dive is an adventure waiting to unfold.

When you're not exploring the underwater wonders, Bonaire invites you to indulge in fresh Caribbean flavors at oceanfront restaurants, savoring grilled seafood, locally caught lionfish, and refreshing tropical cocktails as the sun dips below the horizon. Discover the pink salt flats and spot flocks of flamingos in Pekelmeer Sanctuary, hike through the rugged landscapes of Washington Slagbaai National Park, windsurf in the pristine waters of Lac Bay or just lounge by the pool with the sound of the waves as your backdrop.

Palau Fish-n-Fins

November 7 - 14, 2026

Palau’s legendary waters boast some of the most breathtaking dive sites in the world, where vibrant coral walls drop into the deep blue, massive manta rays glide effortlessly, and sharks patrol the currents of the famed Blue Corner. Every descent brings a new thrill, from exploring ancient shipwrecks to drifting through channels teeming with marine life. With warm, crystal-clear waters and an astonishing diversity of sea creatures, Palau is the ultimate destination for underwater explorers.

The magic of Palau extends beyond the ocean. After a day of diving, relax on pristine beaches with powdery white sand or set off on an adventure through the lush jungle-covered islands. Paddle through hidden lagoons, discover towering limestone formations, or hike to breathtaking waterfalls where you can cool off in freshwater pools. The island’s rich history comes to life as you explore ancient stone monoliths and World War II relics, offering a fascinating glimpse into Palau’s past.

Our Mission

Our mission is to create an environment where every member of our community feels safe, welcomed, and free to be their authentic self. We use the International Lesbian and Gay Alliance’s State-Sponsored Homophobia Report to ensure that all destinations we choose uphold the basic legal protections for the LGBTQIA+ community.

The goal is, by gathering in places where our identities are protected by the law and by sharing a common passion for scuba diving, we cultivate a space where genuine connection thrives. Through shared adventures, exploration, and support, we create the conditions for lifelong friendships to occur and a community that lasts far beyond a single week.

Our Vision

Our vision is a world where LGBTQIA+ divers can explore the ocean, and life, without fear, embraced by community, equality, and unwavering belonging.

Two scuba divers exploring underwater terrain, with one diver slightly above the other. The scene is dominated by blue hues, and the divers are surrounded by rocky formations and floating bubbles.

An unforgettable adventure! Being able to do this with my own community made all the difference.

A scuba diver is swimming underwater surrounded by a variety of colorful fish. The diver appears to be exploring a vibrant coral reef environment. Sunlight filters through the surface, illuminating the aquatic scene with a mystical glow. The bubbles from the diver’s breathing apparatus rise towards the surface, adding dynamic movement to the composition.
