We’ll be on Coz again. I’ll toast a drink to you both...enjoy Bonaire!
Is anyone going to be on island at the end of the year?

Wife and I will be there Dec 16-31. We were actually going to stay at Bamboo Bali as well but ended up switching to Terramar Bonaire for the first week and All Seasons apartments for the rest. We would love to join you guys on some dives. We will definitely be doing an ostracod dive and maybe a few other night dives if anyone else is interested. It'll be our 1st time in Bonaire so looking forward to learning the ropes from people more experienced!

Excellent. Well, we've only been there once, but would be happy to share the ropes we know. We'll be staying a bit north of town, in the Santa Barbara Crowns neighborhood, but Bonaire is not a big island and it's easy to traverse it. Let's touch base closer to our travel dates and figure out some details then.

My 17 yo son and I will be there Dec 28-Jan 5, 2019/2020. It's his first dive trip (16 dives total so far) and my 3rd time to Bonaire, so I'll be looking to keep it pretty lax and easy this time. My wife and I usually do the 22-26 dives per week, but if I can get him to do >15, I'll be happy.
What water temps have you guys experienced there around New Years? I've been there in early Dec (82-84 deg F) and Feb (76-78 deg F), so I'm interested in what the general trend has been.

Perhaps someone else will chime in with better data, as I didn't note temperature in my log book. My recollection is 78-80 F in late December last year. I'm of moderate cold resistance, and I know I wore my 2mm vest under my 3/2 full suit and was comfortable.
My friend (newbie diver that I haven't dove with yet), 17 year old son (Advanced open water with about 40+ dives mostly in Bonaire), my non diving wife and myself will be on Bonaire from 12/22 to 1/5. My son is only good for about 2 dives a day so I am always open to increasing my bottom time if others are wanting more dives. I am certainly interested in meeting up with other divers for meal, beer, or dives.
I will be there 12/27 - 1/3!! Meal, beer and dives are excellent excuse to make friends!!!!
