    Considering BONAIRE or COZ for Dive trip w Daughter - Advise?

    I've stayed at Plaza 4 times and would again. They had a 4D package that included room, dive package (no boat dives) and truck with insurance. I don't see it on the new web site - you're right, it sucks. If all they have is the all inclusive package I'll go elsewhere; Eden Beach is nice, stayed...

    deciding which wet suit to take

    From you first post I'd say just take the 5mm. Staying under 50 lbs/bag is doable, I take my reg set and camera in my carry-on. You don't need a lot of clothes; I take 2 pairs of shorts and shirts to mix and match, sneakers and casual shoes - wear the heavier pair traveling. 2 or 3 t-shirts and...

    Information seeking

    We've stayed there 4 times in the past 5 years and can see the improvements each time. It was sold some time back and the new owner is working to fix up everything. The junior and grand suites have all been redone; they are working on the villas now as well as the Tipsy Seagull. Tanks are...

    Changes in last few years?

    Didn't hunt them myself but understand you must take a lionfish hunting course, using an ELF to hunt them only. Hagen from Cactus Blue has a lunch truck at Aquarius most days; he says he has to go to 130' plus to reliably find them for his burgers. In October I saw 2 large ones and 3 - 4 little...

    Non coz dive question.

    I'd recommend Barbados for new divers. Go with The Dive Shop Barbados Diving: The Dive Shop Ltd. - SCUBA in Barbados since 1965! Arrange in advance and they'll probably pick you up and drop you off. They do 2 tank shallow dives in at 10 AM, reef and/or wrecks.

    Cruise ships in Bonaire - there are more, but "more" is relative. It's certainly not Grand Cayman or Cozumel. Here's a link with the schedule. Some only stay half a day. Cruise TT : Your Cruise Ship And Port Timetable - Schedule for the Port Of Bonaire for January 2014

    Don't miss dining at "At Sea" - be sure to make reservations. Hotel Roomer also has very good food and a picturesque setting. If Unbelievable is still open stop there for dinner as well. For land activities, check out Outdoor Bonaire. The caves were pretty interesting and Hans is an excellent...

    25% wipes and 100% spray will that keep the skeeters away??

    Expect them early morning and dusk, usually not bad during the day. Bullfrog work well for us as does Cutters. Many restaurants can provide it if you forget to spray before going to dinner, just ask. If you get any rain the mosquito population explodes! Enjoy, 10 weeks until our next trip there.
