Hi, I am new here. Now that the entire family are divers, we just can't afford to go places where we have to pay for boat dives every day, so we will finally come to Bonaire.

John, the flight from Houston to Bonaire fills up real fast. August 8-August 16 is $668 right now. Continental has a habit of changing flight prices daily. I saw some prices for over $1,000. Gary

LATE summer and fall are hurricane season in most of the Caribbean, although the ABC's are less affected normally.

$150 a day per person for 2-tank boat dives on Cozumel is not an accurate number.

I have usually used two small dive operators running six packs in Cozumel in the past, divewithalison and scubatony. They charge $60 and $80 respectively for a two tank dive, and we usually do two of those per day, sometimes with an additional night dive. I won't willingly go on the cattle boats.

Hurricanes might not directly impact the island, but they do impact flights. Last fall we were one the last planes to get into Bonaire before the hurricane hit. A number of flights were canceled or delayed by days. I would go earlier in the summer.

Thanks everyone for the help. I bought tickets at just under $700 pp including all the taxes and fees. If things work like they usually do, that means you should keep an eye on prices because now they will drop.

JD ... if it makes you feel any better the Continental prices just went up over the last week! Of course I had also waited (which I know is not a good thing!). Now that I have purchased, like you, I am sure they will go down. I do have Yapta tracking them in case they drop enough for a refund. I do find that the Continental prices are less than AA and for this trip were considerably less than Delta.
