Does anyone know offhand about diving with this group? Do they have boats or will we be diving with another group for boat diving? What about gear storage? margarite

Divers Paradise is where I have my studio. The diving is through Toucan Diving (at Plaza Resort). Toucan keeps a dive room at Divers Paradise with tanks for the guests so that you can do shore diving without going to Plaza. So I believe any boat diving would be done out of Plaza.

My studio is on the ground floor so I have a locked gear storage walk in closet right off the patio. I'm not sure how the second floor is setup. The stairs for each unit is on the opposite side from my entry although I know they have gear lockers I'm not sure exactly where they are located.

Thanks for your response, Linda. We weren't sure , but were hoping for Toucan. I wonder how long it will take us to get to Plaza for those early am boat dives....any idea? No traffic jams ,I assume:).....margarite

Budget about 15-20 minutes, including unloading at Plaza, but not loading at Divers Paradise.

The upstairs unit we stayed in last year had the gear locker off the patio. So we had to cart everything upstairs, through the living room and out onto the patio. Not a big deal, though. Was nice to have decent, locking space to hang stuff.

My husband and I are also going to be staying at Divers Paradise, the week of 1-25 / 2-1. We had requested a ground floor unit but were wondering if an upstairs unit would be better. Is there a view of the ocean from upstairs and downstairs? I guess as long as our gear can be locked in a storage area that is the most important. Any opinions of upstairs or downstairs? We are counting the days until we can dive Bonaire again.
