Our first time on Bonaire started on Dec. 19, 2000 when we landed at Flamingo Airport via ALM. We were met by AB Car Rentals with a Toyota Hi-Lux pick-up, which was perfect for our group of five. We drove to Bel-Mar Ocean Front Apartments and were greeted by our hosts Wilma and Jan. Wilma showed us to the three bedroom unit that was to be our home for the next nine days.

Oil Slick Leap is a favorite of my 8 year old, who loves to snorkel. He perfers to snorkel at Andrea I & II, but loves to swim at Oil Slick.

Mike & Mary - did you dive Ol' Blue as a shore dive or boat dive? When we first went to Bonaire, as fairly experienced divers but no previous shore diving, we kept driving up there and leaving without getting in the water because of the surf. We are planning on doing that dive site in March - much more shore diving under our BCs - but I'm curious about your experience there.

Try to hit Ol' Blue first thing in the morning when it should be calmer.

Ol' Blue was my very first dive in Bonaire. It was actually the sight where I realized how much I loved diving. Surf can be tricky, but if you go in sidewards, brace beteen waves, it's not too bad. When shore diving, we also put our fins on after we are out of the surf. Ol' Blue is a great sight. 28 days and counting :)
