I have been in contact with both companys and was wondering if anyone has any experience booking with Island Dreams out of Houston TX. My wife and I are planing our first trip to Bonair Jan-Feb 03
We have been reading all the valuable info on BT and can't wait to go. Any info about these two companys would be of great help

Harry,

We used Bonaire Pros to book our upcoming December trip. It was the first time I have ever worked with them.

So far, so good.....

Harry, we have used Bonaire Pros four times, I don't think you can beat there prices and service. Three weeks from today.

Andy at Bonaire Pros (Great Southern) was great. Everything arrived exactly when expected, no surprises and all in order. I usually like to do all of it myself, but he saved me a load of time and booked me on AJ with better flight times and less lay-over times and $200 less than AA, and I arrive in the day time.

3 weeks from today for me too. See you at the BT dinner on the 25th Gary and on the 2nd flight!

Harry, I used Bonaire Pros( talk to Andy ) to book a trip for 1/30/03- 02/07/03. I had done ALOT a research trying to book everything myself. Once I saw the packages that Bonaire Pros had available I booked the trip. AJ has a great flight schedule, at least from Boston. We live in New Hampshire so leaving from Boston works out great for us. Looking forward to our first visit. If you have any questions please feel free to e-mail me.

Marie,

What part of NH? We moved to Bonaire from Derry, and my wife has family all over the state (parents in Chichester outside of Concord).

And, re: Andy Reppeto of Bonaire Pros - nice guy, had a good time out with him last week in Las Vegas during DEMA :-)

Jake

we had good results with Island Dreams...Ken Knezick on other dive trips..have not used for Bonaire as we make our own arrangements...sometimes sure is easier to use a travel agent and safe time and grief...god luck and enjoy Bonaire..the easiest place to dive in the world

Harry - Ol Pal,

Another company I have had good luck with is Caradonna Caribbean Tours. Both for groups and couples/families.

Sure hope you and the lovely Donna will be on island in early February. Thirteen fellow Vermonters and I will be there 4 - 12 February at Eden Beach.
Would enjoy seeing you both again!

Tom

Hi Debbie,

I have to admit that I have not dove Tropical Lake Champlain since Friday, October 18. One of my main dive buddies is in the Caribbean (St. Lucia)right now so the motivation is not there. She comes back next week to do her drysuit course which means I will be diving here a while longer this fall - brrrrrrrr!

Look forward to meeting you and Adam either at the craft show if I have time to attend this year or at Gibbys.

I know what you mean about Bonaire spoiling us. I do 24-30 dives in my 7 days on Bonaire each year. Equals about 1/4th of my yearly total.
