Lorraine, I am thinking of staying at the Aqua Viva apts. I will be diving with Bon Bini. I have never been to Bonaire and I am finding it very hard to decide on where to stay. I guess I could change my diving and stay at somewhere that has it all, but I have heard that Bon Bini is really good. I figured that if I got my tickets I would be forced to decide on a place to stay. I am not an indecisive person, quite the opposite, but this has proven to be a tough one for me. I guess that part of the problem is that I will be alone this trip and without a dive partner. I really only want to shore dive this trip and I think that has made me unsure as to what to do. That and the fact that most of the resorts charge you for two even though I am one makes the money part tougher.

Hello all. I've been lurking for awhile soaking up as much info as I can and decided to take the plunge and join in.

FYI to all divers. Your only committment to the shop you sign up with is that you arrange your tanks with them and go through an orientation and a check out dive at their facility. You also have to sign a liability reasease. If you decide to do a boat dive at another shop, then they will also require a serparate release. I always reccomend that if you are diving with one shop and wish to make a shore dive at a different resort's house reef, check with management and as a courtesy, let them know you are diving and they will let you know what they require. As long as you have done that, bought your park tag, etc. you are free to dive at any site with any other divers you may have met. The good thing about Bon Bini is they have a drive through tank station, as do many of the other shops.

Ken, I am flying in from San Francisco. I will be arriving in Bonaire at 8:30pm on Saturday the 3rd, ( I don't take off from SFO until 10:55PM on Friday). Congrats on finishing the open water course! I am signed up to take my advanced open water course soon after I arrive. I thought that Bonaire would be a good place to become a better diver!

Great that you have your tickets David! I'm leaving TOMORROW!!!!! And-I am doing my open water cert dives with... Bon Bini. We're staying at the Lion's Dive, where we stayed the first time we went (1998). It was great, as they have a full kitchen. You might want to e-mail Bon Bini about accomodations if you're still unclear, as they connect to several places on the island.\

David, we are timeshare owners at the Divi, maybe we can meet for a drink at the ChibiChibi or Karl's. I'm sure Bon Bini will be able to help with shore diving info.

Lorraine, I will put a call in at Divi when I get there, it would be nice to meet some folks from the board here. I will look forward to meeting you both. Man, I have never been one to wish any part of my life away, but I cannot wait to get there!
