Returned on Saturday from 7 wonderful days on Bonaire. Our group of 11 stayed at the Lions Dive. Accommodations were fine and those of us that stayed at Lions Dive before Lenny were pleased with the improvements. The Bon Bini Dive operations rebuilt into a more spacious gear room and retail shop. The new sand beach area where the restaurant/bar used to be got a lot of use from our group. The view from the pool area is now more open to the water. And Gibi’s Restaurant and Bar now open above the dive shop is a great place to watch the sun set while having a cocktail before dinner. Kudos to the management of the Lions Dive for getting these improvements underway in a timely manner (relatively speaking).

Nice report, Steve...I suspect your kids spent their days with Karen Eckrich of Sea & Discover. She is a great asset for divers, too, regardless of your current knowledge level. It's great to hear about people bringing their kids along and introducing them to the wonders of the sea.

Going to Bonaire in 9 days, thank you for the update. Looking forward to finding that green moray for myself. Some have commented that Ralph is over 8'. I think he once lived under a wreck in front of the defunct Sunset Beach property.

No, that was his ex wife who lived in the tug. I met her alomost 15 years ago when she was 6 feet and still single.

Enjoyed your report, Steve. Especially the reinforcement of my plan to go Air Jamaica this next time. I like the arrival and departure times too. Thanks for letting us live vicariously.
