Argh! I am so jealous! Was at SD in December and can't get back soon enough. It's amazing how what people see at the dive sites changes from one time to another. Other than the Tarpon during night dives, we didn't see any large animals on Bari. But I've heard several people say they've seen Eagle Rays, Turtles, etc. since our trip. That's what makes Bonaire so great. Never the same thing twice.
Also, if you go to Bonaire Talk - The place to discuss everything and anything about Bonaire! there is someone posting that a slow moving pod of 30 - 50 dolphins has been traversing the reef every morning quite regularly. Up north somewhere if I'm not mistaken. I'd definitely see if you could find them. Awesome experience. They have some curious babies with them.

Saw the dolphins
I think there were probably closer to 100 of them in that pod! We saw them last week after diving at La Dania's Leap. They were all around our boat, playing in the wake and swimming right under the bow! Lutty, our DM from Capt Don's jumped in with my camera to catch this shot:

Hope that worked! I'll post a trip report soon. We LOVED Bonaire!

Quick update, I will post a full trip report when I get home. Last night we did the UV night dive with Bas. It is a totally awsome dive. It's a can't miss. We have not had a bad dive, meal or experience. So far my favorite dive is Cai. But it's so hard to choose! Off to Lake this morning and we will take it from there.

Just did 5 days at Sand Dollar. Now in Aruba. Can't compare the two. Best dive was a slow drift from LaDania's Leap to Karpata. Also saw the dolphins right at Bari. Vis here not so good and very crowded on the Antilla!!!! But, better than back in Jersey
