I was just checking out fishid.com as suggested by the mail, and a discussion about snorkeling was in progress. The opinion was stated that Bonaire was not very good for snorkeling because of the wall. Any comment? Also, are there any beaches for swimming?

Bonaire is a wonderful place to snorkel. All the fish are around and at a depth you can see. Once the water gets over 45 feet, you cant see much snorkeling. I've seen squid and octopi and even a frog fish (!) snorkeling, mostly in front of Sand Dollar. the large jacks and the huge midnight blue parrot fish come in occasionally to feed. Even some of the deeper fish like reef butterfly fish come to the top of the reem to feed once in a while. So you never know what you will see. Around the rocks at the Sand Dollar are cardinal fish and grouper and grey snapper (a school) and even spotted drum. Snorkeling is great in lots of places on Bonaire. People have seen sharks at Klein (the snorkelers not the divers) and turtles are uncommon but can be seen as well. Dont miss a guided snorkel in Lac bay for some unusual fish and upsidedown jelyfish.
