I love shore diving, and I hear Bonaire is the best place to do it, if you want warm clear water with plenty of pretty fish to look at. I'm looking for a place to spend 2 months each winter, for the next 10 years or so. Maybe not always the same place, although would make it easy if I found a place with enough options I wouldn't get bored going back several times. My first attempt was this past winter, went to Puerto Rico. It was nice, but the shore diving was too limited to keep me coming back (other than maybe to try one of the smaller islands to the east). The Internet also went out fairly often, and we were staying in the largest city, San Juan, so I'm thinking it will only be worse in the smaller towns/islands where the better diving is.
Does anyone have experience trying to work full time from Bonaire? I don't need a lot of bandwidth for my job, I get by with 3mbps at home, but I need it to be working when I need it for online meetings.
If not Bonaire, any other ideas? Keeping in mind that I really am set on shore diving. I find while I'm working and just trying to dive whenever I can, it is really great. I guess if there was a place I could just hop on a boat at 7am without a reservation, and be back a few hours later, that might be okay... but when trying to do that daily for 60 days, it also gets really expensive, compared to just tank rentals for shore dives (bring my own gear).
