We are off to Bonaire for our first trip this March. Really looking forward to the shore diving and diving on our own schedule. Last 3 trips have been to Cozumel, which were great, but the thought of running our own schedule is exciting.
Staying at Buddy Dive. We figured this would give us a good starting point to see how things work on the island and scout out other accommodations, if need be, for future trips.
There is great advice here as to what locations to dive and eat. So we will be digesting that info over the next couple of weeks and make our dive plans. I think the little blonde has already made reservations at a nice Italian restaurant that came highly recommended.
We figured on breakfast in the room most days and then maybe a lunch or two. The other days enjoying the local eats.
Since we have been accustomed to drift diving in Cozumel over our last couple trips I am taking for granted there is very little to no current with the shore dives on Bonaire? Wifey is a little concerned about us running our own show as she has never done this before. I have multiple trips to the Keys with my own boat and never had an issue.
We have read the advice about not leaving anything in the truck, locking valuables in the room properly to protect our assets. Are the room safes big enough for an Ipad, dive computers (wrist mounted) and a go pro with a couple lights? We are just going to leave any other valuables like expensive jewelry and watches at home so we do not have to worry about them.
Any other pointers would be great. Enjoying everyone's comments and we are looking forward to the trip!
