Well, I finally made it to Bonaire. I was traveling with a group from Scubaventures Dive Center in Winchester, VA. We were under the wathcful eye of owner/instructor Joe DuBose. Joe is one of the best instructors I have had for any training or certification. The perfect blend of knolwedge and caring made the learning fun. When you couple Joe's skills and personality with the wonderful caring memebrs of the other members of the group it adds up to one PERFECT vacation.

I forgot to proof read the post. Overlook my grammer at the beginning of the post. You get the idea anyway.

Caution! PBD cannot be cured! Remissions occur only when on Bonaire and this is only a temporary state lasting as long as you stay in Divers Paradise. Luckily I’m scheduled for treatment in only 22 more days.

Rick, so glad to read your report,I was checking off the days of your trip while at work, wondering how it was going. Which building at Buddy's was yours?

Glad you had fun at Buddy's and Bonaire. If you spent your spare time at Buddy I presume you must have expereinced the meter of Amstel at the Buddy Bar?

Sounds like a great trip. I have never stayed at Buddy, but I plan to someday. We will be back down in mid June. I can't wait. Just booked it yesterday, and I can already feel that regulator in my mouth.

Dean, I was in building number 3. The staff at Buddy's is great but then everyone I met on Bonaire was great. I felt like I was at home instead of a tourist.

Lorraine, it was Rick's report, not mine, all though as a fellow west virginian, i was with him in spirit. As one who has 'done' Mt Storm, i knew he would be much happier in Bonaire!
