We will be in Bonaire Dec 4 to 11, 2002. We have BCD's that require soft weights. According to my travel agent the dive shops rent all kinds of equipment, in fact the shore diving package that we bought specifies that weights and tanks are provided.

All the dive shops I'm familiar with on Bonaire use hard weights. Not sure about any environmental restrictions against soft weights. Hard weights are just cheaper and less likely to walk.

Thanks Jake: I was diving in the Keys a couple of years ago, and the dive shop only had hard weights, but they would not fit in my Tusa Imprex Pro BCD, and also not in my wife's Dacor extreme elle.

Elwin, have a great trip! Maybe you can get some of the alpacas to carry the weights down for you? LOL. Maybe not a good idea, tho, with the goats and donkeys running around on the island...the alpacas look so sweet and innocent. Carole

Bon Bini has both soft and hard weights.

Quite a problem, there's got to be a way not to have to carry that lead. My two solutions you've already tried. Put hard weights in the pockets and a weight belt (this one you could reconsider if you get desperate).
