Can I rent tanks in Bonaire with SOLO SCUBA DIVER CERTIFICATION

[scubadivingtom]

Thanks for the info. It has been about 20 years since I have been in Bonaire. I rented a condo back then. I have never stayed at one of the scuba clubs. I am thinking about booking at Buddy Dive Resort. I was just wondering if I should get the Solo Scuba Diver Certification. I had not heard of a Solo Scuba Diver Certification until one of the local dive shops said something about it.
Thanks again

I took the Solo cert course is Bon a while back and glad I did. Well worth it. Like others said you should not have an issue diving solo in Bon except possibly on a boat and even then you can dive solo, the most they may ask is to follow or otherwise be in visual of the dm on the deep part of the dive.

Only place I've been hastled was on Grand Cayman. They have a rule "strictly enforced" that you can't dive solo under any circumstances from shore. From a boat it's perfectly fine. They just want you to pay to boat dive. Everywhere else I've been, no one even asks.
