This from todays news Curacao falls outside American Airlines’ economy measure WILLEMSTAD – The two daily flights from Miami to Curacao are not as yet included in American Airline’s economy measures. AA will reduce the number of direct flights between New York (JFK) and Aruba...

Thank you for all the input. BSDME is an ongoing work of progress. Bonaire is constantly changing and the guide with it. Many people have suggested ideas to me, some of which will show up in future editions such as a map. Until now the BNMP map which is given out at dive orientation was a good...

Clay Jar, I have put many hours into BSDME and have a copyright license on the material. I do hope that this is for your personal use only. I am tremendously complimented that you find the guide such a wealth of information and hope you enjoy your holiday in Bonaire.

I check this link daily. The radar is also very good. Meteorological service of the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba

There are no knife restrictions that I know of IF it is in your checked luggage. Without opening a can of proverbial worms do know that the laws relating to protecting/defending yourself here are not like in the States. I have not heard any news of break ins lately. Enjoy your holiday in...

EnronX, East side shore diving is fabulous! You have opportunities to see just about anything there. Bas has to be the most knowledgeable and safe guide for the east side (not to mention his enthusiasm). He has been diving that area all of his life and knows how conditions will effect the...

Larry's Wild Side is a good option for the east side. Larry's Wild Side Diving - Diving Rigid hull inflatable built for seas. Eddie and Heis run a very safe boat. They are often called upon to pick up shore divers who try and do the area around Lai Cai without a guide. If you are interested...

I heard about it on the radio news yesterday. Apparently it was a heart attack.

Tennessee Slim, Give them this site so they can look at some of the sites! ShoreDiving.com - Your Shore Diving and Snorkeling Web Community!. I came here on holiday a number of times with friends that snorkeled. We had a blast!!! They will have a wonderful time! Anywhere the divers go the...

I find it interesting that the cruise ship passengers Still pay no head tax or Marine Park fees (unless they dive in which case they pay a $10 day fee) for their visits to Bonaire but stay over tourists get to pay yet another tax even though it is a small amount. Without taking into account...

We have had a LOT of rain recently so be prepared for the shortcut to be a mess. There is only one area where it really gets chopped up but the ditches can be BIG. Make sure all your gear is situated in such a way that none of it goes out the back (if you have a mesh or gate tailgate) as you...

Tropical Divers Home can do the IDC. They offer it in both German and English.

Here's hoping we don't also get Paris Hilton..... I think she fits the word notorious.

Please let them know what you think about cruise ship tourism in Bonaire. Bonaire Surveys

Continental has added a second flight direct from Houston to Bonaire next year. Lose one, gain one.

Coco Palms is clean, comfortable and your hosts Brigitte and Richard live on site. The rooms are spaced out giving privacy and a nice place to spend time between or after dives. There is also a small bar in a courtyard where they have a buffet one night a week. I have some friends coming this...

Alex, Thank you for your voice of reason. I read over my post and it sounded a bit like I was screaming. What most of us are looking for is a balance that will work well for the tourist and island dweller alike. The people used to come to town and be excited when the cruise ships came with...

liz, I am aware of a zoning plan but obviously not the one you are referencing. We will have to agree to disagree on this point. Debating what will happen as the referendum comes into play is not something either of us can do until it is written. As far as the locals getting employment for...

This years the cruise ships will carry 153934 visitors before crew to Bonaire. For those of you coming to the island for your holiday imagine the impact this will have on everything from traffic, both cars and pedestrians, to sewage, trash and basic getting around the island. It will be...
