Arriving Feb 8th, hoping on doing the orientation dive the morning of Feb 9th and on to more fun with diving through the 12th. The wife will not be diving so looking for other(s) to dive with. I am advanced certified and have about 200 dives so far. I like to dive nitrox, take photos and generally do not move fast when diving.
On the ave, I find I am on the conservative side of air use compared to others based on previous trips, (after the first dive excitement which always results in breathing too fast) so I should not be a burden on ending dives too soon.


It would be nice to dive with someone that has been to Bonaire before and knows a bit about it... its our first visit... but willing to dive with other first timers as well and explore the 'new' together.

We are staying at Plaza Resort.


And here is a quote for the day for you.

"We cannot solve our problems with the same level of thinking we had when we created them." A. Einstein.

Hi Dave,
I got your e mail and have returned one. Let me know if you do not receive it. This will be our 5th trip so we know our way around some. I have over 100 dives and my brother is a dive master. We go slow and enjoy the dives. You will want to dive some on Klein, you have to go by boat. If you are not set up with a boat package you can pay per trip and can go out of Buddy's if you wish. Safe trip and I hope to see you there.
John
