Hi everyone.
I am glad Bonaire did not feel much of Ivan
Has anybody here attempted to snorkel since the storm?
Didn't see any posts.
Could really use current info on good sites.
I suppose I can just ask around when I get there.

There have been people snorkeling and the water is clearing up nicely. I just checked Sand$ and they are in pretty good shape in the shallows, much better than yesterday. Divi was cleared up yesterday. Cliff is still murky, but it was not bad over the edge of the wall. I expect that within a day or two all snorkel sites should be AOK.

I have been snorkeling at Andrea (I and II) and Witch's Hut since Ivan. The water is still clearing up. There is some coral damage at all 3 places right near shore but as you go out a little, everything looks fine. Don't worry, there are lots of fish :-). Alex

Not too much damage in front of Divi, there are alot of fish in the shallows and around the cement pier, and some of the clumps of staghorn are still there. The dive shack pier is just a bunch of wreckage and will become a nice habitat for fish soon.
