Hi there!
I'm wanting to plan a trip to Bonaire (first time there) with a group of friends. We are a mix of divers (advanced and open water divers with a recently certified OWD) and one non diver. I was looking at Divi Flamingo or Captain Don's. I read Divi does not have a sandy beach which our non diver prefers. I have already warned her dive resorts tend to be quiet, more basic/rustic and not a lot to do other than diving which she is ok with...just wants a sandy beach. Does Captain Don's have a sandy swim-able beach area? Through my research I am really leaning towards Captain Don's..so any advice or comments are welcome!
I was considering Honduras or Grand Cayman..just really want to chose a place with best chances of calm water for our beginner to give her a great experience and find a place the rest of us haven't been (Bonaire).
Other questions I have...I read about people renting "trucks" in Bonaire...is this just if you want to dive other locations than where the resort takes you by boat? Do you recommend this?
Any non diving activities anyone recommends on the island?
