I will be on Bonaire 5/10 thru 5/17 at Lion's. After reading about all the great shore diving, I am wondering if instead of booking a boat package, I should instead just rely on shore diving. Since my wife doesn't dive, I do the boat because there are no worries about being paired up. How hard is it to find a buddy and hook up for some diving? Is there any kind of system for posting a name and room number so others in the same situation can contact me at the hotel? Thanks

It should be fairly easy to find a dive buddy, the folks at the dive shop will help. Bob and I were happy to help out people in the same postition as you on occasions over the past few years but there are always solo divers around. However, the boat diving is great so do some of that too! You will love Lions Dive and Bon Bini divers, have a great time.

I don't think you'll have a problem finding a buddy. You will LOVE Lion's Dive and Bon Bini-have a great time! I would do a couple of boat dives, just because Klein is kind of neat.

Hello Thomas, sorry for my late reaction but I was on vacation and I tryd to send you on your E- mail but it didn't arrive you because a copy didn't arrive me. Yes I am interested in a buddy but let me know when you be really on the Island in April, because I am going to the U.S.. The Lions Dive Resort is about 600 metres from where I live. Have a nice time on the Island.
Thanks anyway. Monique
