Just returned from my first trip to Bonaire on 4/5. We stayed at Lions Dive and did my diving from Bon Boni located at the hotel. It is right around the corner from Buddy Dive and a few hundred yards from Capt. Don's Dive. Renata, who runs the desk was wonderful. Eddie did my check out and Francee was a great help to us and very informative. The dive shop was open all week from 8-5. It is small and extremely helpful, especially to the not-so-experienced diver. They run about 3 boat trips per day...8:30 10:45 and usually 1:30 or so. You can go along for $5, snorkel for $12.50 on the same boat or dive for $35 a la carte. Dive packages may be more economical. The dive sites on the reef are usually at 15-20 ft, good for snorkeling and the dives to about 80' at the same locations.

Thanks for the great trip report, Chuck...so glad to see we now have another Bonaire "addict" amongst us! First trips are always fun, but wait until you start planning the return trips...that process usually starts as the plane is pulling up the the gate at your home airport!

Chuck, you're right, the folks at Bon Bini are great. I always seem to need some extra attention, and they are very patient to me.
