After reading the informative thread below about Margate, I was wondering if we couldn't make an informal list of must-dives and not-as-great dives since Omar? (Margate is definitely on the list, btw!)

But for those BT divers who have recently visited to Bonaire, I wonder if there are any dives that are better or easier since Omar? Any that are significantly worse or harder to get into?

We leave for Bonaire in one week--our third time!
Counting the days until then...

Right after Omar during two weeks of diving:

No change or no significant change in entry situation:
Hilma Hooker, Red Slave, Margate Bay

Sand/gravel/coral bits and pieces gone making entry at least "different" - sometimes more challenging, sometimes just a bit different:
Andreas, Ol' Blue

Docks damaged at Don's and others are repaired and the entry at Oil Slick repaired.

I have seen no mention of HIDDEN BEACH. It is not one of the usual dive sites that most folks hit, but I love this site. It HAD stag horn coral in the shallows. If you can make this site I would love to know how the coral has fared. I was there in October and it was one of the few sites that reminded me of pre Lenny diving.

There is at least one free map that is available that shows unnamed dive sites on the south end. This site is worth the effort to find.

Still good, Jim. Very little damage further south.
We dove it this past November after Omar.

Thanks, guys. From what I've read, the southern sites fared better than the northern ones. What about Candy Land? We were going to try that one this year.
