Packing today for a Monday flight - got all the forms filled out and fees paid. I did have a question - it appears my families go to dive plan doesn't work with what's going on with the coral disease. we normally - wife goes on a run, daughter and I dive house reef early in the am Then go to...

thanks for all the replies - if we go I will make sure and post pictures - (I just threw 2 sleeves of yellow balls in the suitcase) We have been to Bonaire several times and have done the donkey farm, mangrove, Lac Bay - (No way I am doing caves -just don't particularly like them) Went fishing...

Has anyone ever played the golf course in Bonaire - looking for down day activity and I didn't even know it was there - stumbled across it on the internet. We are going in a couple weeks and I may surprise the girls with an afternoon 9 holes on a deco day.

Had a development come up - wife had to get a melanoma removed off her arm early November - its like a silver dollar size wound. Dr says she can dive - we were thinking about the practicality of that - she normally dives a full 5mm - its on her forearm and we were going to take a shorty and...

Bonaire folks take their fireworks seriously.........the sky was lit up crazy around any of the populated areas when we were there Some other folks might chime in - maybe go to a less populated area - way north or south.

We just got back from it - my daughter loved playing rock paper scissors with the kids behind the glass. I just practiced blowing bubble rings. You could tell they were getting back in the swing from after covid - but it was run by very nice people and over all an enjoyable experience.

Johnoly - Great advice We stopped by Scuba Quest - they were way cool people. If I lived in Orlando, I would use them as my dive shop. There was a lady there that was so nice - I told her we were just killing time and one of the message boards told me they had some of the new exciting...

oh sigh...thanks for the update - we may just go kill time at a mall

Random - picking my daughter up early next Saturday to take her to Disney in Orlando (shes at a conference, I'm driving down) - but we cant check in to the hotel until 3. So I will need to kill some time. Is there a dive closer than the ones around Gainesville (its about 2 hrs away) - Devils...

I going to figure out the lock function that would work well.

Dont yell at me - didnt read all posts - Its a Mk2 I love my Garmin but for some reason my wrist will bump it into CCR mode - last trip to largo serveral dives were logged as CCR Any way to stop it from doing that - or just make sure and check it before you submerge.

What was surprising to me is that I got the normal Stinapa newsletter in my inbox today and it had no mention of the disease.

Thanks for the responses - Tkaelin - don't take my post as gospel - I got my "facts" from tripadvisor. I love Captain Don's it was just way easier to book Buddy Dive - (I have been to both) - and they were starting construction last time I was at Captain Dons and I had to park across the...

Just wanted to confirm the current process for going into Bonaire. 1. Pay a $75 dollar entry fee - where do we show that (Is this a new line at the airport) and paper copies or phone better? 2. Marine Park fee $45 - show at where you are staying I assume. 3. No COVID type paperwork needed? I...

You have to learn a programming language in order to get your degree (most never use it again) - you have a couple classes that use it - way back in the day it was fortran. Its something else today.

I come down on dive tables (I have one in my dive kit every trip) like I do a slide rule - my grandpa gave me one, I know how to use but not sure the value today when my phone can do everything it does. Conceptionally you should understand it, but I am not sure the value of using it when...

That is outstanding - thank you for the response @wetb4igetinthewater

I know what a dumb question - I am with you on the depth thing (my daughter is in college to be an engineer so she is having some fun questioning my 35 year old engineering analysis) But - We dove in 80 foot of water and cold see the bottom clearly at 40-50 feet down as we dropped - I think...

Interesting question from my daughter filling her dive log after a dive. She asked me what the visibility was today and I told her 30 feet ish. She then asked me how I determined that - I was stumped - I just said I thought I could clearly make out stuff at 30 feet or so away. Is there an...

Rats, I wanted to dive it Monday - we were looking at Sunday the 19th or the 20th Monday - Wanted to do Monday because high tide was a little later. When I read the post - you basically park where you normally park - (but probably the choice right by the bridge spots will be closed) and cross...
