We are headed to Bonaire in a few weeks and are planning to use AB car rental and AB dive. The package and the tank delivery seem to be perfect for our trip. Has anyone else had experience with their tank delivery?

Getting that tropical itch! Still planning, but I can be somewhat flexible. Either Early-Mid Nov, or Late Nov-Early Dec. Plan to fly in and out of Curaçao (flights on weekends) with around a week apiece in C&B. Looking mainly for a buddy/roommate in Bonaire, but open to Curaçao too. I hope...

How is the diving in the ABC islands? My group of 3 is going to include a new diver and I'm gun shy on drift dives. We're going to be there a week and plan to do as much shore diving as possible. That being said we don't want to fight currents and all the whole time we're there. So is any of...

The wife and I made our annual trip to Bonaire June 10-18. This was our 8th trip in 8 years. We have seen a lot of changes over the years. Flights-We live in Houston. We took the United out of Houston. There were no issues. For the past couple of years, the return flight direct to Houston is...

I'm looking for suggestions in Carib for a June trip. We have 100+ dives, comfortable boat or shore. No tec, no wreck. Having seen some great reefs (Bonaire, Cozumel) and some crappy ones (Jamaica) I know the difference. My priority would be finding a nice reef in good shape with a lot of...

Our scuba trip tag example for the diver crossing signs on Bonaire.

Instead of writing up a long trip report, I decided to create this video instead, showing video and photo highlights from my recent trip to Buddy Dive Resort in Bonaire in December 2016. I know it's 10 minutes long, but it moves pretty quick given all the different sites that were visited. It...

Just finished a week of diving in Bonaire. This was my fifth dive destination in the Caribbean, and I found the diving there to be very good and the Dutch influenced culture to be quite seductive. We stayed at the Carib Inn which I selected for its modest pricing and low key small resort...

Just back from two weeks in the ABC’s, and want to ‘pay it forward’ to those who helped me plan and those who will follow! Caveats: we are novice & casual divers, we plan trips based on the overall destination rather than solely by the diving. We bring our mask & fins but don’t own any other...

I'm planning to dive with Dive Friends Bonaire, and do some guided dives the first couple days and then either find some buddies to go with or just keep doing dives with them. My brother may be coming with me, but it's not 100%, so that's why I'm looking for potential buddies. I know that's high...

due to character limitations needed to split report into two... Cai – probably best dive due to diverse topography/structures in one dive. Walls, slopes, sandy patches, lots of coral growth; this was a 104 minute dive with no deeper than 44’. Average depth at 24; school of tarpon (40+), school...

First time in Bonaire. Stayed for 2 weeks at Den Laman and used Bonaire Dive and Adventure as the base dive operator. Also did a dive on the East Coast with Bas Tol. He is fantastic and while viz wasn’t the best (40-50’) it was probably the best dive of the trip. Highly recommend Bas for any...

I don't know if this has been posted before but if not, I'd like to share this unmarked dive site. It's a nice site with a bit of a different layout then the rest of the west coast. Take the road to south past the salt pier and when you pass the divesite invincibles you drive another few 100...

Will be in Bonaire for the first time in November for 2 weeks. Started reading information about the dive sites in order to put together a dive plan for each day. Thought I would ask this forum if someone has a schedule of diving for Bonaire for a 2 week stay and would be willing to share it...

Hi all! A group of mixed friends/family are planning a trip to dive/snorkel/bird watch/lounge/fish. Some divers (experienced and brand new), some snorkelers, and some beach lizards. Which of these would be best for a diverse group like this? Thanks for the info!

On September 5th, 2016 while diving at Site H, Monte’s Divi off of Klein Bonaire my wife had a primary stage failure. She began to inhale seawater and panicked. She was only 20 feet from the DM and me, but we were swimming against a heavy current. Desperate for air she did not think about her...
