    Sites for night dives

    Too many to mention. Nice ones for sure are Salt pier, Something special, Cliff, Invisibles, Lake, Angel city (include the 2nd reef with the last 2). Try Hilma Hooker wreck for a bit eery experience by night. For ostracods check Tori.s reef.

But all depending on situation, safety, Bonaire and Dutch government discussions etc.etc. I guess flights with...

    Bonaire Prohibits North American Arrivals

    We realy hope to see you back in future when times are better. Everyone will need it. For now it is best to isolate the island because there are not enough medical resources and equipment if it realy goes wrong. Still no confirmed cases of corona, fingers crossed to keep it like that. Don.t...

    They will start 1st of March. Mainly focused on people that go out for diner and/or (too many) drinks ;-) Nice idea I think, it's a start of "public" transport on the island.

    STINAPA

    Its been.more.common.since.the fees changed 1st March 2019 that rangers will check at the dive sites. Maybe the employee was new, at least I hope so. Because all dive shops should know that new tags start selling around 15 Dec. and the old ones are valid untill 15 Jan. mas o menos.

    1st time to Bonaire..questions!

    Great choice you made to come to the shore dive capital of the Caribean! It shouldn.t be too complicated if you take some common sense and for sure sturdy boots to protect against sharp coral rocks and sea urchins while getting in and out of the water. Please contact me for more info, I could...
