A good idea for Bonaire

[TheWizard]

Not only is Bonaire's income not 100% derived from tourism as another poster pointed out.......

Facts don't matter to the OP.
It's the attention factor that keeps his yo-yo going...

I hope that wasn't because your clothes got stolen. Crime is a big concern on some of those islands.

Only if those islands were dive destinations. Since I believe what I read, I am now certain they are not dive destinations

so what happened to our original poster?

 

[ONESPEED]

What exactly did you have stolen the one time you went to Bonaire that has caused your psychotic obsession?

His innocence.

Yeah, sadly the entire Caribbean has according to PF been taken off the Dive Destination list :sad:.

That is not true.

There are many dive sites in the Caribbean that he's been to and talked to people about crime on Bonaire. So there is diving somewhere in the Caribbean.

Quit trying to spread misinformation Steve!

PF very clearly responded to a post that referenced Jamaica, DR and other Caribbean islands and he stated that they were not Dive Destinations.

Places with serious crimes (muggings, beatings, kidnappings) employ private security at resorts and have a big paramilitary police force. My trips to Jamaica and Dominican Rebuplic come to mind. I believe any other Caribbean Island without the serious crimes will have the same level of petty crime. These are poor, generally third world countries. I feel much safer in Bonaire than I do in NYC or Philly.

Those otherr islands you mentioned are not dive destinations so it is not my/our concern, necessarily.

I've prob got 10 dives or so on my last trip to jamaica.


While it might not be a mainstream "dive only" destination, the diving was pretty good.

In fact, even the mainstream dive locations, like Cozumel, Grand Cayman, etc are now taken over by the cruise line. (maybe he should go start a thread on that...)

Being a Bonaire Virgin I thought I would learn something from this post given its title, it looks like were back on the Bonaire crime mantra again

Correct.
When you see a thread here where PilotFish is involved, you'll know better now...
