Hello,
I go to Bonaire every year and have dove every marked dive site on the map as well as many that haven't been marked. I have also dove many of the places you have mentioned above. I can tell you that Bonaire is without question one of the best dives locations I have been to. The shore diving is second to none. The fish life is excellent is almost every location. I stay at the Plaza Resort and would highly recommend it, and I would recommend the DMs Sherman and Jackson. They both grew up in Bonaire and can take you to the very best sites. As far as boat diving I would recommend going to Klein Bonaire, the island off of Bonaire, since you can shore dive nearly every other location. You can easily see turtles, spotted eagle rays, eels, occtupi and a ton of other fish species in Bonaire. I can even give you maps to locate frog fish/and sea horse locations.
The lion fish count has been increasing, but it hasn't affected the fish count yet, and aggresive steps have been started to reduce their numbers. The only short fall I would say is the lack of large fish and sharks. Although you can occasionally seen reef sharks and hammerheads.
If you would like any addition information or pics I will be pleased to help you.
