I think if you plan to venture away from the resort and shore dive you will want hard soled boots and open backed fins to fit them into. If you are going to concentrate on boat dives, and do your extra diving off the resort dock, you could not bother with booties. Our first trip to Bonaire it was cool enough for us that we could jump in the water from the dock, do night and afternoon dives there, and really hone our skills. With luck you can find somebody to night dive with and learn from them.

Thanks so very much to everyone so far - we are off to find the hard soled booties.

Chris..Welcome & you really should have a fine vacation. HV is a wonderful resort to stay & also to eat at. We had lunch there just 2 months ago. I think they have the best beach on Bonaire & a great dive op on the premises. You're in for a treat!

Chris, I wear a 7mm and also a 7mm vest and hoodie. If you were cold in Aruba then you will likely be cold in Bonaire. Better to be warm than cold and uncomfortable.

I agree with Edge Cindy. I FREEZE in what most people would consider pleasant water temps. I'm hating that I have to move beyond my 3/2 but I must. WAY too cold for me now so I will move up to a 5mm and keep my hooded vest too. Do what works for you...
