They covered several other tips that I would have eventually mentioned, plus a couple I did not think of myself.
All good tips.

It can be. Your feet are probably tougher than most, but some of the rocks can be quite sharp, and hard to spot in the waves..Just watched both videos. Good information! Never been to Bonaire... getting excited!!!
One question. My booties are soft on the bottom.. is it really that big of an issue?
Of all those I know, Jenny, you will probably have the toughest feet, but it remains wise advice.^^ Thanks. I was wondering if all that sturdy sole stuff is more for those that are not used to being barefoot (and have strong feet and ankles), or actually good advice.
I have an extra pair of heavy soled boots. Fit about an 8 1/2-9 size foot. I call them my 'Bonnie Booties' because I bought them just for Bonaire. 3rd time diving there. Money well spent. Figure I'd throw my extra pair in my luggage just in case someone could use them. If they fit, just hit me up and they're yours to use. I'll be at the bar with a Mojito in my hand.Just watched both videos. Good information! Never been to Bonaire... getting excited!!!

please open YouTube and search for Diving Bonaire. There are several videos showing entry/exit for shore dive sites. I will say 90% of Bonaire shore dives are rock entry, and even with boots you may get hurt. Here a simple example.@Starzz Thanks so much! I really appreciate it.. hopefully I will have something by then.. I do have soft soled booties, but apparently they won't be enough.. gaaah.. I'm a barefooter and can handle most surfaces with minimal support/protection..
