Just wondering if the electrical current in Bonaire is the same as that in the US?

No, our electricity is 127 volt, 50 cycle - 220/50 is also available. It means that anything with a motor can run hot unless stepped down with a transformer. If you need to recharge anything like a razor or batteries, you should check with the hotel. Dive shops usually have something set up to accommodate recharging.
