Hello from Calgary, Canada. I truly enjoy this web sight. My wife and I are celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary this year and have decide to celebrate the occassion in Bonaire. Although we are "land locked Canadians" we love to snorkel and are looking forward to our trip in the middle of January. We hope to stay for two weeks. Could you tell me what the weather is likely to be in January. Also, I've taken scuba lessons a few years ago (I passed the written and pool instruction and took two very cold and merky open water dives but did not get certified) and would like to find a very patient instructor in Bonaire who could reacquaint a 43 year old to this wonderful sport. Any suggestions?

Hi Jim, I will be celebrating my 23rd anniversary on Bonaire in January too. We have done so three other times. We have always found the weather to be good and the snorkeling is just the best we have ever seen. We will be arriving on the 12th. leaving on th 19th. I wish I were able to stay for two weeks. We have had dinner at Richard's on the night of our anniversary every time we were there. It is just a wonderful place to watch the sunset during happy hour. Then he seats people for dinner. Food is always great. As for the diving, any of the dive shops will be able to help you. All of the people in Bonaire are just great. I can't wait to get back. It always feels like home. Good luck, Maybe we will see you there!

Hello Jim, Bonaire is our choice for our anniversary each year. January is a wonderful time of year, especially if you are from up north. I was certfied in the Long Island Sound in New York. Bonaire is a great place to get certified. I would suggest Malin at Sand Dollar, she's great and we know her well. We have stayed at Sand Dollar nine times. Everything is right there and the condo units are great. Please e-mail us directly if you have any questions. The snorkeling and diving is beautiful right in front of Sand Dollar. Have a Happy Anniversary trip!!!

Hello Jim, We are returning to Bonaire in January for only the 2nd time. Our 1st trip (1996) was our 1st Anniversary. Now we are going back with our 1 year old baby. I can't wait. The diving is very simple. I am a rare Bonaire diver...I actually like boat diving over shore diving. I guess I am lazy. We had a pregnant diver who had to snorkel on the dive boat on several days. She was always pleased with the trips and said it was just as great. So, if you don't get around to doing your check out dive, you can still see most things from the surface. However, I do love going under. You could always do a "resort course." I just checked into this for my sister. You can e-mail me if you have any questions. Kristin
