From previous dive trips to Bonaire I don't recall seeing many shore diving sites that have (above water) areas that are shaded where one can set gear and relax while waiting out a surface interval.

Can someone suggest sites that would have shaded areas to do this??

Thanks

oops this is "dining" and not "diving" catagory. See repost under "diving bonaire"

Lemmee see now... Karpata has some shaded areas although not much to sit on )pull up an iguana...), BOPEC has a little covered bench/table, Lac Cai has lots of covered space (best to dive there with a guide because of the currents and lowered viz), there is some scant shade under the palms at Pink Beach, there's a divi divi tree on one of the beaches just south of Pink... that's about it for shade - but really, we have seldom longed for shade - it's really not too hot and between repetitive dives it's good to warm up... you're in for a treat anyway you look at Bonaire...
