Looks like Cliff is the closest Red to Buddy.

Buddy is not red, dove it this am.

We can blame my red/green color blindness, sorry. STINAPA should address that. I’ll be staying at Cliff, which is now upsettingly red.

There is a LOT of gear cleaning, with chlorine then fresh. Every dive.
I hope it helps and am happy to stay inside the lines, big topic of discussion on efficacy.

If you get the option for sites on the boat go as far north as they allow first.
The zones are strange and Klein was open in the am and closed in the afternoon.
Curious how Don is running trips?

Cpt Don are running boats to Klein and South dive spots at 8, 11 & 1
We dove Machaca and Cliff in the morning. Buddy, Scientifico and Front porch in the afternoon . Lots of cleaning between dives. There was no sign at Cpt Don about Cliff been red

Last time at Patagonia I got to use the famous Caddyshack line “And tell the cook this is low grade dogfood. I've had better food at the ballgame, you know?” Definitely lost in translation. Low grade beef and frozen vegetables at Abe & Louie’s prices. Never again.

If you want a decent steak, try Trocadero, they also have great live music. They claim it’s Argentinian beef, I don’t believe that, but it’s better than Patagonia.

How long you there for? I get back July 12th.

Until end of next week

The small pier at Cpt Don is gone, and they are waiting for permits to rebuild

Good evening from Bonaire

Nope, you just enjoy a premium price for a sub-par product. Standard of Patagonia my last 7 visits. Never again. Mezze and Trocadero.
