Just returned from our first trip to Bonaire. First of all, this newsgroup discussion was very useful. We followed a lot of tips from fellow travellers and they were very useful. We are snorkelers, not divers, so I'd like to add a few comments that I think it would be really helpful for the Bonaire tourism folks to hear.

Phyllis, When we were there last year we went out on the Woodwind regularly, which sailed from the Divi and catered to people who snorkel. We snorkeled at No Name beach on Klein, the Small Wall and Andrea. They were very enjoyable snorkels and we plan to go out on the Woodwind daily this trip.(feb. 3rd yea!!!)I thought the prices were very reasonable for the service that was provided. We also went out on a dive boat and found that to be a bad idea. They said it would be a good place for snorkeling, but they took us to a place with a very strong current. We would not do that again.

The Toucan afternoon snorkel at the Plaza was the best organized snorkel we had , the guide felt out where we had already been, our skill level and took us for 2 drifts at Klein Bonaire which were very good. We had about 10-15 people which was a reasonable number. The drift snorkel is wonderful for us lazy swimmers. The other boat snokel we took was a sail excursion with Renee (?) she is great but it was VERY crowded with little kids who cried etc. We had to walk along shore (TAKE booties for your feet, 2 of us did and two did not what a difference on the whole trip) which with the coral is no fun. The "sail" was in name only, because the engine was on the whole time, and lunch was not very imaginative (cold cuts while we "sailed"). The guide was great but too many people. In contrast we took a similar trip in Belize where the boat dumped off 2 people on the shore and after snorkelling we came back to a wonderful simple beach BBQ.
