Thanks, The whole situation is sad. I'm doing my research before I arrive next month so there won't be any surprises.

Any new dive site closures or rules for Bonaire as of May 2024 ?
Can anyone provide a link about how to rinse your gear after diving.
When you don't have access to a rinse tank or running water.
eg. what percentage of bleach to add to the water you use. Is it OK to use a spray bottle? Thanks

STINAPA says:

"It’s essential for everybody to clean their gear before and after every dive/snorkel day. After disinfecting gear, let dry completely.​

• Non-sensitive gear – soak 5 mins in 10% bleach solution, rinse in freshwater.
• Sensitive gear – soak 5 mins in 7% lysol solution, rinse in freshwater.
• Extra sensitive gear – rinse in soap then fresh water"

They also suggest using public rinse tanks:

"Disinfect your gear hassle-free at our free rinse stations open for the public before enjoying our beautiful sea. This is mainly thanks for our partners for their participation in providing free stations available island-wide. You can find the rinse stations on the SCTLD map."​
