Hi, Kristen!! Well, I can't do a before/after comparison for you because I've only been there post-Lenny, but last September I stayed at the Plaza and both dove and snorkeled the 18th Palm (that's the name of the dive sight in front of Plaza's beach). I can report that there is a lot of rubble straight out until you get to the bouy, but where the drop starts, the reef is gorgeous. If you can free dive deep, that would be a possiblity.

We stayed at the Plaza and conditions were good outside the Plaza, but somewhat crowded because of the location. i agree off the airport is good and only a short walk. the boat trip with the Toucan dive shop was excellent, i think they only go out once a week for a snorkel but it was very good. Rent a car a few times and snorkle the coast.

We stayed at the Plaza a couple of weeks ago. The snorkeling was only OK if you've never been anywhere else. Reasonable amount of fish, but the each site is only a single outcropping of one or two coral heads. Lots of bleaching, lots of broken coral.The diving may still be good, but we don't free dive and the reef is too far down. We also went to Klein Bonaire with Renee, the trip was pleasant but the snorkeling is really marginal. What are your comparisons?

Snorkel the east side of Klein Bonaire. NO RUBBLE, turtles almost guaranteed, lots of fish,depths from belly scratching to as deep as you want.
