Just curious...Ed and I will be living in Bonaire on a part time basis in a few years (6 months out of the year or so). We are still young and Ed is a certified dive instructor, so no problem with him, but I am a nurse in the US, who doesn't speak or write dutch. I am learning some of the native language (Thanks Michael!)...wondering if the resorts would be interested in "medical attention" services for assessmentfor dive related injuries and minor injury repairs (e.g. coral scraps, burns, cuts, stitches, hives, etc.) What do you all think? Or can you point me in a good direction? Thanks!

We have had a paid, US Nurse in the past that worked with the Chamber. I suggest you get in touch with Jack Chalk at Hibitat or Pam Teitel at Sand Dollare Condominums. I think if you were a trained hyperbaric nurse, it would be quite interesting for the medical commmunity.

Liz I hope Ed is bi-lingual. The majority of the diving instructors on Bonaire speak at least two languages, not counting English

Michael, thanks...I have decided to concentrate and become certified as a "dive" nurse...I should be done with in a year so that when we retire.... well lets say hopefully it will be best for both me and Bonaire...and Kelly...he is from old school and speaks only English...need to get him going on Spanish...probably easiest for him to learn. Thanks!

The good thing about the Dutch is that the almost all speak English, unlike us Americans. Actually, Spanish and German are in high demand for instructors as well.
