I'm thinking about trying to plan a trip to Bonaire next year and have a question about saftey/crime there.
Now everyone has told me that there is a crime problem, but that it is mostly petty theft. This can be avoided by not leaving anything in a vehicle and not rolling up windows for them to break out trying to get in. Note: I'm not trying for this thread to turn into an argument about the crime.
My question is though that if non diving spouses go and sit on a beach while we are diving, are there any saftey concerns? Are the thieves bold enough to rob people or do they just break into vehicles, etc.?
(I'm not talking about the somewhat crowded beach/shore at the resort, but in a remote location where they could most likely be the only ones on the beach?)
so pretty valid question before you want to leave your wives on the beach alone.
