Is May a good time for a trip to Bonaire, I don't seem to see very many posts with people who have gone in May. Also, will a dive skin and shorty be adequate for diving in May.

I like May as there isn't any pod boats at that time, atleast in 2008. 09 may be a different story. In the past, we have found temps to be in the 80's in May. We are diviers,and use full 3mil suits to keep us warm. I'm quite sure that others will chime in on this one... Ron

Hi Gary, I wear a 2mm shorty and my wife a 3mm full. She is usually cold by the end of the second dive so this year she is going to try a beanie (?spelling). We usually get about an hour each dive.

Works for David and I! That'll be our last night on Bonaire, so a great way to end our vacation. Thanks for pulling this together, Ron. Looking forward to seeing everyone who makes it to Bobbejan's that evening for dinner.

I'm at Golden Reef Inn. I arrive on Sun AM red-eye out of EWR and leave the following Sun AM. My other buddy John is arriving Sun night on American Eagle through SJU. I'll be picking him up from airport all salty, sticky and smelling like neoprene. I hope to have at least a few dives is by time he arrives. This will be my 3rd trip back. I'm up for meeting folks sooner than Friday. Monday night, I'll be doing Golden Reef Inn's CHEF GIBY'S MONDAY NIGHT BBQ (all you can eat) 6:30 PM. $20 bucks. if anyone wants to join me, be there.
