Print this out before your trip and keep it handy in case it is needed for a safe vacation on Bonaire

Bonaire Hospital
Hospitaal San Francisco (Kaya Soeur Bartola #2, Kralendijk). The hospital has 60 beds. You will need to provide your own blankets, pillows, and sleepwear. Keep in mind, this hospital is not like large hospitals in the U.S.

Phone: (599) 717-8900
Fax: (599) 717-7990

There is an ambulance plane on call for emergencies.

Bonaire Recompression Chamber
The hyperbaric recompression chamber is located adjacent to the hospital; admittance is through the emergency room at the hospital. Do not go directly to the Chamber in a dive emergency; go to the hospital emergency room.

Bonaire Ambulance Emergency Number
The emergency phone number for the ambulance is 114.

Bonaire Police Emergency Numbers
Call 911 first. This number is manned by one person, so if no one answers, call 717-8000.

STINAPA and Bonaire Marine Park
To report vandalism on the reef, or marine park violations, please call 717-8444. After business hours call 786-8444.

If you have information you believe should be included, please post and it will be added to the main list. If you see information that is incorrect, please let me know.

Thanks,

Cynde

Thanks Cynde! Great idea. I will definitely print out and take with me.

Thanks Cynde, this info may save someone's life one day.

Thanks Cynde, great list.

I would like to add:
get DAN insurance.
I've never had to use it (knock wood) but it is good to have.

For marine park you may want to add 786 8444 for after hours.
