After studying these , I have some limited info.
Bonaire - sitting on a reef, reef alll around the island, walk in over the rocks. no sandy beaches like USVI.
South Caicos supposed to have white sandy beaches as well as a wall for diving. Not so much shore diving , but great boat dives i hear.
We can afford bout $1000-1600 per person including lodges, diving.
Is a car/truck neede in Caicos ? or taxis like in CAyman ?
Is Caicos lots more $$$ ? The flights seem to be +$100 more than Bonaiore, from NC, US.
Is it worth the more $$ to goto Caicos to get more upscale lodging, and beach combing ?
