I will be in Bonaire from the 11th of February, to the 23rd, 2005. I am looking for some dive buddies to dive with during this time frame. My wife will be with me during this time, but she is good for one dive maybe two a day. Anybody want to team up to do some diving? I am staying at the Happy Holiday homes, which is on the southern side of the island next to some of the best sites. I look forward to hearing from you all out there.

Richard,

Welcome to the Board! My husband and I will be down Jan 19-Feb 17. Unfortunately I am unable to dive, so it would be great for him to have a buddy! We have some things we have to do "topside", but I know he definitely will want to dive. PM me and I can give you all our contact info. Thanks. Liz

Okay Liz,
You are going to have to educate me on what PM means. I will do so and let you know what we can do to hook up. If you mean what is my email why here it is rkyrace@hotmail.com. Hope this helps.
Richard.

Richard:

Here is a link to those BT-ers who should be there during that time: http://www.oldbonairetalk.com/newsgroup/messages/27/194617.html?1104185774

Because the shore diving is so easy (and can be done on your schedule), you may be able to talk your wife into two a day. It is so easy to get in two dives without feeling rushed...

BTW, I really liked Happy Holiday -- very tidy and well run.

A good source of info is often the dive shop you are using. They are often aware of who might be looking for a buddy. Finally, you can always go on a boat dive and buddy with the DM.

Dave

Sean,
That sounds good to me. I am thinking of doing some morning dives and then the wife would like to do an afternoon dive. She is not a morning person and since Bonaire is such a relaxed place we can do our diving when we want. Have you thought of doing any night diving? Let me know and we can set a time and place to me to get acquinted and try to plan dives. Talk to you later.
Richard.

Richard,

Sounds great! I would like to do a couple of night dives so by all means I'm up for it. Where will you be staying? Perhaps we can meet up at a place in town, (City Cafe?) when you get in and we can plan our dives there.
Sean

Richard,

My wife and I vacationed in Bonaire last year as snorklers and we will return this year as newly certified divers. We will also be staying at Happy Holiday from Feb 8 to the 19th. We will watch for you or just ask Louise where we are staying.

Tom

Sean,
Just read your post about a dive buddy. We'll be at the Plaza from Feb. 11th through the 20th. I don't dive but my husband, Les, does & he's more than happy to have a buddy (already asked him). He enjoy's night diving too so if you'd like to try the night diving with him that's fine too.

Richard,
We'll be in Bonaire during the same time-frame as you (Feb. 11th-20th). & staying at the Plaza. I mentioned to Sean that my husband would be happy to have a buddy so maybe we could all meet somewhere & do some diving together.
Judy
