I understand that Bon Bini has ceased operations until they have a new location.

Does anyone know any more? I'm particularly interested where Francey (and Mananita if she's still on Bonaire) are now. I was certified by them, and had a wonderful experience. A friend is coming down in late Feb, and wants to get certified. I know there are a lot of great choices, but if either Francey or Mananita are available, they would be first choice for us.

Any information appreciated.

Hi Josie. I just sent your posting to a close friend of Francey in Bonaire. Hopefully you will hear from her. Good luck

Peter, thanks so much. I just heard from Julia with a couple of email possibilities for Francey, and I've emailed her already.

Josie, this lurker would be very interested in any Bon Bini Divers updates. Those women are our favorites too, and we would happily follow them to a new location. Would you be good enough to share what you find out? Thanks!

I have heard from Francey, and I'll be connecting with her on BON this week -- I'll post anything I find out about Bon Bini's situation.
Josie

hello,
yes, please let us know about bon bini and Francey. It certified Francey many many years ago and was going to stop in and say hi in april.

The last I heard from Mananita (my instructor too!), she was back in Venzuela. That was probably a year ago or so. She was a wonderful instructor; I learned so much from her.

I'd like to know where the rest of the Bon Bini staff has gone as well. We dove a lot with Ian and Ralf last summer and they were wonderful DM's/Instructors.

Francey's friends can reach her at bonhandyman@flamingotv.net
