We are getting ready for 2 Bonaire trips (yeah...I know.....lucky lucky). One starts this coming weekend (october 4th-13th), the other half november (nov 15th-25th). I was told by someone that october/november is 'sea wasp season'. Is this true? Should we worry about it? I dove in Bonaire this spring in a shorty....can we do that again?

We've been going to Bonaire in Oct. for about 5 years and I have never seen them. They were out in abundance this past May. A shorty is fine. The water temp is very high now compared to spring. (see other message boards regarding water temp).

Thanks for the advice. Indeed I have read the postings about water temp. The reason I was asking was because of the possible sea wasps. I thought it might be necessary to wear a full suit because of them. Temperaturewise I definitely prefer a shorty....in spring too.

The most you would need is a dive skin under your shorty. Very few stingy-thingy's can get thru even the thinest of dive skins, the only Bonaire exception is a bristle worm.
