You will be missing out on the whole Bonaire experience by not renting a truck! 80+ marked shore dive sites, just pull up your truck, gear up and dive on your schedule. From Captain Don's you can surface swim north and dive The Cliff dive site, or surface swim south to Buddy's Reef (don't...

Joe's, Capriccio, It Rain's Fishes, Sebastian's, Eddy's (near Buddy's!) to name a few. I usually reserve a few of our favorites before we arrive, and then fill in once on the island. There are lots of good restaurants, but they are usually small and intimate.

Thank you for sharing! We are planning our Sept. 2024 trip to Moorea and Rangiroa for diving and exploring.

That's a fancy staircase! We were there in April and Delta was using the regular open air staircase. Enjoy your time diving tomorrow! The ability to shore dive on your schedule spoils you for other diving destinations. And boat dives aren't bad either!

Trucks were in their normal locations at the end of April.

Our first trip in Feb. 2020, we did strictly shore diving, and it was awesome! Such freedom to go when you want, where you want. We have been back 3 more times since then and added some boat dives on Klein Bonaire (Dive Friends, Epic Tours). On our recent 2 week April trip we did 2 days of...

We just returned yesterday, and also noticed a very large number of sharpnose pufferfish on most of the sites. Did not see any dead ones on shore. Lucked out and the winds died halfway through our trip and were able to dive Atlantis and Fish Hut this trip with no kite surfers! (and Red Slave)

Which is why I hesitated to share that.

Once it was within a year on Bonaire, but usually in the Florida Keys.

Most: We rent our BC's and regulators from them, no problems. After the first day, tanks are delivered to our resort, we just tell them how many we want each day (part of the agreement with Coral Paradise). They offer guided night dives at an extra charge, and they partner with Epic for dive...

We have not had to do an orientation dive. We have always had dives logged within a year of our arrival on Bonaire.

We have done AB dive on our 3 trips through our resort, Coral Paradise. Your dive package usually starts your first full day on the island, so the day after you land. Go the dive shop in the morning, fill out paperwork and pick up your first set of tanks. They will go over everything at that...

For Something Special, we went on Sunday morning and parked in the Between 2 Buns lot with several other trucks - they are closed on Sundays! Also, B2B close at 4 p.m. other days, so the parking lot is available after that. Yes, it's a short walk with your tanks down the road and through the 3...

On our two trips the tanks in the back of the truck have never been touched. I've never seen anyone mention a problem with tanks as a target of theft, more the extra things we bring along. We make sure whatever we leave in the unlocked truck is something we can live without (snacks, sunscreen...

Wait - It just worked! Woo-Hoo! Have a trip planned for end of February, will be taking a few with me.

I just tried to order it, it does show available and when I click "add for shipping" it tells me it's not available and has been removed from my cart. :-(

When we went in June I never received an e-mail after submitting the form. Printed copy was all that was needed.

Hubby and I booked 2 weeks Feb. 25-March 11 via Delta using frequent flier miles. 1st part at Coral Paradise Resort with truck and dive package through AB and the last 5 nights at Connie's OceanTerrace condo at Port Bonaire using Dive Friends to add some boat dives. Hope the testing...

I enjoyed Ingredients with a reservation and a waterfront table. :-) I get your point. Typically we do Rum Runners our first night as it's close to our lodging (Coral Paradise). We are so tired we eat and leave, no table hogging here. And I understand when Captain Don's is full, they want...

On our recent trip in June, we stayed near Captain Don's and we had dinner at Rum Runners once and ordered the pizza take out a second night. It is good pizza, and we both enjoyed our sit down meal off the dinner menu. I laughed when we show up without a reservation and they act like they are...
