Another bit of "wisdom" that might help some, if you have back or stability issues, is that you might get a healthier, stronger buddy to carry your tank and rig either to the shore, or even into the water, where it can be donned with ease. Colleen's bad back has made such accommodations...

Of all those I know, Jenny, you will probably have the toughest feet, but it remains wise advice. An option, far less $ than buying heavier sole dive boots just for Bonaire, would be to bring a decent pair of durable saddles (as shown in Roxanne's video). We have had folks show up on Bonaire...

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..

The dry box advice became even more important when the keys to the rental trucks became electronic chip keys. You cannot safely leave the key hidden in or near the truck on Bonaire, and unlike when we first began shore diving on Bonaire, you can no longer just clip the metal key to your bcd or...

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

Pretty informative video. If the video replaces waddling around the resort like a flock of ducklings on day 1, it is a great, and welcome improvement.

I posted the following in that thread, but will share it here too, as it might help others: While this is not exactly a health/fitness post, I realized that the mention of balance is important. With a bad leg, Bonaire shore diving could often pose difficulties for me because of my bad balance...

While this is not exactly a health/fitness post, the mention of balance is important. With a bad leg, Bonaire shore diving could often pose difficulties for me because of my bad balance. When visiting Bonaire I learned to bring a folding walking stick, stowed in a mesh pouch that clips on my...

It appears that they have adapted to the change, and moved on.

It's been a few years since my brother and I visited the distillery. We don't get up to "the Park" end of Bonaire much, we're too focused on the diving, but we have enjoyed Washington Slagbai and Rincon in the past. We liked a rum that we have only seen on Bonaire, and only as we hit the...

Is it still a very small operation, with the owner giving the tour?

...and I note: that is just a screen shot of a portion of 1 page on their online yearly calendar of events. I'm sure you might find a few other unusual listings, it's a small island community, with a multitude of different cultures crossing paths.

I do not make this $#!+ up. When I find it I might share it, but I dont often do very deep research on most of it. Why not a World Parrot Day, though? They are tropical, you see them on Bonaire, and they certainly are beautiful, and I imagine that if I looked up National Cockoach Day, I'd...

But that's just poor planning on your part. Even Three Hour Dives Jenny does not need two dry days to fly... :wink: We are talking Bonaire shore diving here. Think creatively. You might accidentally forget to return a couple of tanks...

Let me see,...an extra day of diving, or pay the same $ for 1 less day.....some sacrifice...

....and it is >$900 today.

Highly overrated. These day most folks are staring their screens, anyway, where depth of field offers no survival advantages....
