Best Dives in Bonaire

[DiverVince]

[Yes and no. It started life around 1965 as a DA Aquamaster.]
Wow..why shades of Lloyd Bridges I'm impressed! I knew the hoses were changed since the original ones were black. Haven't used a double hose reg in over 40 years.
They look real cool but something about rolling over on your back to clear it made me give up on it.
Surely nice to see one though.

Diving a site in Bonaire is like having sex...

"When it's good... it's great. When it's not great... it's still pretty good."

:cool2:

My recommendation is to be sure to dive up in the park. Bring 3 tanks each (plus lunch and drinks) and make a 1/2 day out of it. Get there at 8am when the park open. Great sites there.

Well said.

What about water temps guys? Will the water temp break 80 degrees?

Maybe but I don't think I have ever seen it over 82, don't count on much more.

It was consistently 82 the first week of May.

So most people wear 3 mils or skins?

Depends on how many dives they are doing. I dive 5-6times a day the whole time i am there. I wear a 5 mm with a 3mm beanie and i am ok.

Yeah, I've been hearing pretty consistent 82 degree reports for water temps. Most folks seem to wear 3mm fulls or shorties it seems. But like Keithdiver said, you have to look at how many dives per day you're going to do and what your cold tolerance is.
