I saw in the Bonaire Reporter (of Jan. 22-Feb. 5, 2010) that the dive magazine 'Scuba Diving' has awarded several '2010 reader’s choice awards' to Bonaire. Bonaire placed first in a number of categories, including Top Overall Diving.

Well, Boneiru, don't think your challenge for Bonaire to live up to its ecological reputation will be met any time soon, given the referendum at the end of March to determine whether or not Bonaire "goes it alone" and detaches from Holland or favors integration. Without Holland's money and support, there will be no sewage plant, no modernizing of the infrastructure, and the reefs will die.

The Scuba Diving "awards" are just reader ratings....if the divers like it, they vote for it. The high rankings reflect primarily two things: lots of divers in Bonaire, so lots of votes, and reef degradation that has been slower than in many other places. So it is an unnormalized, relative ranking.

[ usually, putting up screens to prevent sand from blowing into the sea is not part of the regulation, or is it?]

I never argue....coz I know I'm right all the time. One word of correction though....the idea that "EU Money" isn't Dutch. EU is European Union and I doubt that Bonaire would have access to European Union infrastructure funding as an island in the Caribbean. I don't think there's a "CU"
