On behalf of one of my regular dive guests I would like to thank Mr X. who found and returned 2 dive computers that fell off the back of our truck by the side of the road at Ol' Blue last week. It was a very pleasant and reassuring surprise for us to be re-united with the VR3.($$$$$)
Also thanks to BonBini for being the go-between.

This is nice news! Thanks for letting us know how kind others can be on Bonaire...but, I am not surprised at all. Carole (Shutterbug)

You're welcome, Steve! Glad to have been of help!

How about a sub-topic of random kindness on Bonaire?I'll start.
We had taken our rented van too close to the water at the end of Pink Beach. The more we tried the deeper we dug in, closer to the water.
It was my husband and I and my sister-in-law. Either of us not a great help to my husband to push the van out.It was at a non busy season and there was hardly anyone around at around noon. This american gentelman came along and was going bonefishing. He was very nice and tried very hard to help us, all of us push things under the wheels to help.no luck he was going to take us back to town to get a tow, when this bonairian gentelman came along in his pick-up with his young daughter. He had an idea, we followed his instructions and got the van out. They both left before we could thank them. Hope they read this. Anyone else?

Our first visit to Bonaire, we parked our rental truck at Tori's Reef while we did our navigation dive for our AOW. We were very careful to park so as not to block in the fishing boat that was also parked there (on trailer). When we got back from what turned out to be a -very- long dive, the local fishermen were just pulling out with their boat, and mentioned that they had rolled up the windows on our truck so the passing rainstorm that came by during our dive didn't leave us with wet seats. Great people!

Recently, one afternoon after exiting the Park, our vehicle sustained a flat tire.....we got out of the vehicle and Joe started to take the lug nuts and the tire off the vehicle when a commercial flat bed vehicle towing a small fork-lift truck pulled over to the side of the road within two minutes out our stopping our SUV. This nice gentleman walked over and scrathced his head (not a very "vocal" individual at all" )and he then unhooked his fork lift truck and drove it over to the front of our SUV and proceeded to "lift" (carefully) the front end of the SUV, pull the bad tire off (cactus in the inner tube!) and put the spare on, tightend up the bolts and then lowerered the vehicle. We thanked him profusely, shook his hand and attempted to hand him a "reward of thanks" which he promptly refused to accept. I took a pictre of Joe and this nice man but I have not downloaded it onto the PC as yet. I will post it later on. He was a lifesaver as my cell phone battery had just gone dead the moment we exited the park area. And it was getting dark outside.

Thank you ever so much to that wonderful man for coming to our resuce! Just a typical "nice thing" folks from Bonaire do for others without even thinking about it first. Carole and Joe
