Yeah but you're not the guy who has to go retrieve and return all those tanks. I've been told at Toucan that "no dive op will fill another's tanks", it eliminates theft at shore dive sites. So the "tank swap shindig" is someone's fantasy.

Plaza Resort and Buddy Dive kids programs. There is also another program run by Sea and Discover owned by Karen Eckin. She is great. Most programs are half day. You don't have to stay on the specific resort to take advantage. All you have to do is schedule the programs with the resort. They can experience anything to snorkel certifications, to marine life education and feel like what it is like to dive!

I contacted someone on Bonaire and described to him what some are doing and if he thought it was acceptable. His reaction was this...

"Obviously this is illegal and preposterous! It is theft and the guy should be arrested, clear and simple. Any identity?"

I have given no information to him about identity, but please know that it is not an accepted practice to swap tanks.

One other tip people might find useful if flying AA/American Eagle through San Juan. The plane to Bonaire is really small. I have an airline legal roller and was asked to check it on the tarmac. The gate attendant never mentioned it when we boarded the tram.

Also bumping the thread back to the top.
