1. We rent from Budget at the airport but AB Carrental is likely cheaper and will pick you up - and when you drop the car shuttle you and luggage back to the airport. On the arrival side I believe they send a cab driver with your name on his sign.
2. witz case buy at LeisurePro - one of the thinner ones since there's less stress on the o-ring.
3. Nothing you can't stand to lose. We just piled our gear loose on the back seat and even left bags etc. at the apt.
4. I doubt it - in your case just walk over to Dive Friends after you arrive - if it's early enough in the day they'll do your BMP orientation the same day and let you get wet. We actually found it more convenient to rent tanks at any of the resorts we dove from instead of lugging ours from the parking lot - most shops stage them on the dive docks.
I know of two thefts personally on Bonaire - one was stupid, they left cellphones, sunglasses etc. "hidden" under the seat and once somebody at Buddy's - an American - grabbed the inflator hose off a SB member's wife's BC on his way to the airport. I left my video camera between the seats once when we parked the truck downtown - it was still there hours later. We never locked all week and it was Divefest that week so busier than normal.
From what I've read recently, more and more car key fobs are electronic on Bonaire now...progress.
