I've moved your thread to the Bonaire forum. Finding a buddy shouldn't be much of a problem, just hang around the rinse tank and look anxious...
I was asked twice while waiting for mine. Once at Buddy Dive and somewhere else I don't recall. Since the normal dive vehicle is a 4dr. truck, most people have room and don't mind if you join them. We also met two groups on the plane, one we kept running into at dive sites, the other showed up on a boat with us once later in the week.
You might also post on bonairetalk.com in the diving section.
If you absolutely can't find anyone, one (or more) of the DM's at your resort likely moonlights. Some may mention it before you ask. Or there's outfits like VIP Diving who do escorted shore dives.
If (big IF since the rules changed) the DM has some pull and can get harbormaster approval to dive Town Pier, that's one you want to pay extra for at night.

I just noticed this today: http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/le...ces-left-july-20-27-dny-invasion-bonaire.html
I would go with this group if I could get away. They're all SB members and are basically taking over this resort for the week. The person who put it together - gypsyjim is a Bonaire regular afaik. At least he's been there more times than I have.

Wow.....what a DB
I was coming here to mention that. DNY is a great group AND you get a pretty sweet deal.
