    considering liveaboard to Red Sea; can't do a lot of currents

    A reasonable question. I understand that the Houthi attacks are much further south than the area where the liveaboards operate, so I believe it would be safe.

    Ocean Breeze Boutique

    Husband and I are considering Ocean Breeze Boutique for our next stay in Bonaire. Has anyone stayed there? What did you think of it? Is there a place to hang wet gear? Is the kitchenette in studio adequate?

    South could be brothers, elphinstone, Daedalus, St. John. at least according to what I see on liveaboard.com.

    considering liveaboard to Red Sea; can't do a lot of currents

    I take it from what you say about the south that we shouldn’t count on them just being drift dives that don’t require kicking across?

    considering liveaboard to Red Sea; can't do a lot of currents

    My husband and I are considering doing a liveaboard in the Red Sea in May or June of this year. He has a problem with one knee that results in his having a weak kick. He can dive in minimal currents such as Bonaire, and he can, of course, drift. He cannot swim across a significant current...

    Considering a trip to Philippines

    I've never been to Philippines before and am considering a dive trip for husband and I. He has trouble with a knee and so cannot manage significant current, prefer shallower dives. Obviously we want to see as much ocean life as possible. If we can't do a liveaboard, what sites would you...

    truck rental without CDW

    That is true, I was just put off by the comments about Telerin's trucks being old. I don't want to spend vacation time dealing with a mechanical problem.

    truck rental without CDW

    Almost no one is responding to the question asked. I already know about the issues concerning using credit card with rental car and forgoing CDW. Am trying to find out if there is a rental agency on the island that lets you forgo CDW. Does anyone know?

    truck rental without CDW

    My credit card is chase visa. They say it is good everywhere except where prohibited by law. That it is good for all vehicles rented for 30 days or less, so long as I don’t go off road. They say that it is primary and can never be used as secondary, so if I accept CDW, then their own...

    truck rental without CDW

    My credit card providers free CDW insurance for rental vehicles. I'm interested in finding a rental company that would rent to me without making me buy CDW, but they all seem to include it whether I want it or now. Does anyone have suggestions?

    Sand dumped at Chogogo?

    I saw a post on Facebook that the Chogogo resort illegally dumped sand on their shoreline, which then washed out, causing extensive damage on front porch and bari. Does anyone know if this is accurate, how bad the damage is, whether they will have consequences? Please don’t reply with info...

    Bonaire Reef Health?

    Just got back from Bonaire. The reefs are not perfectly healthy, but much healthier than what I’ve seen elsewhere in Caribbean.

    East coast currents

    Thanks to all who replied. We loved Bonaire and will plan on scheduling with EC Divers before we return. Unfortunately, for this trip, they were already booked up by the time I tried to get on the schedule.

    Washington Slagbaai National Park Versus one more day of diving

    Am in Bonaire until Monday and am trying to decide whether to go to WSNP on Sunday. Our flight on Monday departs late in the day, so if we skip the park, we could get in some diving on Sunday. My husband has a bad knee, so diving within the park where current is reportedly strong is not an...

    East coast currents

    My husband and I are in Bonaire for vacation and are wondering about east coast boat dives. Specifically, I’m wondering about current. Husband had a knee replacement a couple years ago and that leg is not as strong as the other. I know that of course there would be some current on east...

    With this WD’s “My passport wireless SSD,” do you need to have along a computer to make that work? Where does the power come from?
