Even tho we've been to Bonaire twice this will be our first as divers (previously snorkelers). Do we need someone to do a check out dive for us before doing ANY diving and who/how do you get this person. Also we will need to rent BC's and regs. and tanks. Where is the best place for that? Are prices much different from place to place? I'm so used to "shopping" for the best price on whatever I need, but to do that in Bon is probably hard. We are staying at Port Bonaire and will probably use Toucan for our boat dives. I think I would feel most comfortable having someone dive with us the first few days for shore diving. How/who could I use?

might as well just let toucan take care of you - the competition on bonaire keeps things pretty even and if you are at the plaza anyway - makes little sense to look elsewhere?

would love to see your faces after your first real dive :-)

Hi Cindy,

As far as I know, all the Bonaire dive operator require a check out dive before allowing you to dive. We are staying at Belmar in June and diving with Toucan. Everything I've heard about them is good.

Kevin
