Just a quick note, I hadn't planned on asking too much on this stream, but since everyone hear seems so open and has good suggestions, I'll venture forth.

Probably the wheelchair would be more of a hinderance. Let Photo Tours know right up front what your limits are and I'm sure they will accommodate you. A friend of mine divemasters there and was happy to accommodate me when I was diving from their boat. I go in the water with just mask, snorkel and fins and put the heavy stuff on while floating.

Just a general comment. Divi Flamingo is set up for handicapped divers and wheelchairs.

If I'm correct there was a trip-report some time ago af a group of disabled divers. I think they indeed went 2 Divi Flamingo.

Most places to eat are w/c accessible except for a few downtown that are on the second story of a building.

Grace there are many sites where you can park fairly close to the water for shore diving. Some that come to mind are Andrea I (but not II -- farther walk), Windsock, Angel City and Alice in Wonderland. In addition to asking your dive shop for ideas you might want to consider purchasing the book Bonaire Diving Made Easy by Jessie Armacost as it gives good descriptions of entries. It is available at dive shops on Bonaire as well as by mail but you are leaving too soon for that!

is it true you will be sleeping in a tent ? are there tent sites in Boniare ? was'nt aware there were any..you might want to check this out before you go...also be aware of the extreme breezes and tie everything down, I can't imagine a tent in the southern part of the island...the walkways along the harbor and "downtown" are all very nicely acessable

I think she was avoiding spelling tentatively, and I don't blame her a bit for it Debbi.

Actually,some of the natives move down to the beach for Easter I know because we were there last April and Donkey Beach and Weber's Joy were filled with folk living there for the holiday, which seemed to go on for quite a while...

We just returned yesterday from Bonaire and we stayed at Plaza Resort where many wheelchair divers (4) were staying. They dove mainly from Toucan's dive boats, Plaza's first floor villas and hotel rooms are easily accessible by wheelchair. I was curious about this because I am a PT. Anyway, our villa was a two bedroom, very large with wide doorways on the first floor. I found that most things in town are accessible for wheelchairs. Email me if you have any more questions.
