Hi, Tom! What a wonderful report!! So glad to hear you had a terrific time at Sorobon and on Bonaire, in general. Renee' is fabulous...she really knows her fish and where to find them and is good at taking folks to "easy access" places when necessary. I fall into that category, too!

Thanks Tom! Glad you had a great time. Not a lot of Sorobon posters, so yours is great for us.(October) Sorobon sounds quiet and relaxing. We'll get plenty of exercise snorkeling and diving-so Sorobon sounds like a nice way to finish the day. We were unable to reserve the best unit on the beach as you were able to do (ha) and we were wondering whether the breezes stopped once you went back in the line of units you were in(I think we're 25?). We'll save our other questions until after you're second part.

Thanks all for the positive feedback. I'll try to get back to it tonight if possible. Have been spending some time going through pictures and figuring out how to post them. I think I got the posting part down now I just wish I could take better pictures.

Wonderful report and it is great to know Renee is still the best on finding the little juveniles and the special highlight fish of the moment and where they are

I enjoyed reading your post. Just a quick question. Does Renee work at the Sorobon resort, and how much does she charge to take you snorkling off the property? Thanks in advance.

My guess is that Renee will work anywhere on the island. Sorobon is often cited as the best snorkeling spot on the island. We were given the tour by a couple at the resort. It was what got us off our chaizes and got us going, 5 days into the trip. For a good ways around the shore of the resort, the water is shallow, with a few deeper spots. But walking out to the reef, there is plenty of life to see, either on the way out, or the way in, or both. We were pretty out of shape, so the reef at Sorobon was a little exercise for us, but you can touch down most places for a rest. The surge gives you a little workout. The other side of the island, which is just a few short minutes away, is totally calm; no recognizable surge or tide. We mostly dived on that side. The breezes on sorobon were irreplaceable, in October. Everywhere else was pretty hot. We really couldn't wait to get back to sorobon, once we got out of the water from diving. The food at sorobon was ordinary to good, but service was great and the convenience could not be beat. Again, we were pretty wiped out from diving a couple dives a day, staying up late, snorkeling, getting up early. We often did not want to go to the other side of the island to eat dinner. We left the resort to breakfast once or twice and dinner three or four times. Never cooked.
