We recently returned from Bonaire, of course we had a good time. Stayed at the Divi Flamingo in the timeshares. Unit 732 if your interested. The room was clean and nice, except for the air conditioner that kept leaking on the floor. I called maintenance several times, but they never did solve the problem. I did find a way to take care of the leak, as your looking at the AC, find a way to raise the right side so it's a bit higher than the left side.

The dive staff did a great job, very friendly and helpful --wish I could afford to give them all a big tip. They've added more storage lockers, so when you go, remember to bring your own lock. (I think they do have locks if you need them.)

I probably should do a restaurant review, but I'll save that for later. As for dive sites... they are all great. "Repel" and "Red Slave" were my favorites this year. We did see a couple Frog Fish, but they seem to be scarce this year. The weather was good, and the water around 84 F. The last couple days we were there, I started noticing cold spots. I suspect the water temperatures will be dropping. And of course I'm ready to go back.
If your interested, here is a link to pictures I took. http://carrier-family.com/gallery/main.php

We flew Air Jamaica out of Chicago. One of the reasons I like AJ is they sometimes hold the plane. And coming home this year, they held it for us in Jamaica. I know people are concerned about AJ, but I'll probably fly with them again next year.

Great photos (some nice composition on some)on your site..Enjoyed viewing them.. I mostly prefer the top side shots to the underwater ones. Sounds like you'll be back!
