Looking to join a dive group - flexible with dates

[carol_swimmom]

We are looking to join a group dive trip to Bonaire for our third trip to Bonaire. Dates are flexible but would prefer January to April 2019.

If your LDS or dive club has a trip going, please let me know.

I have 300+ dives, my husband has 500+ we like both shore and boat diving

ScubaBoard is heading to Curacao this January. I think there's still room but it will be mostly boat diving and lots of fun, fun, fun!

Hi,
Dive Tech is heading to Bonaire on March 31st. Give Bob a shout.

Ps- Was in Bonaire for the first time in April 2018. Loved it. Curacao is nice to. Just different. Have been to Curacao 4 times.

Thanks for the input. We have been to curacao about 8 times. Not really interested in staying at sunscape. If the surge was staying further west we might be interested. We are both underwater photographers so bonaire shore diving is perfect as we can sit in one place for the whole dive if we want lol. Curacao @ westpunt or lagun etc is similar.
There's nothing I hate more than chasing after a DM on a boat dive when I want to get a shot of something. I will check into the trip with Bob, thanks for that input.

Just curious... why join a group?
I've only been to Bonaire once... but I see zero upside to a group trip...

It allows me to skip a dive if I want, and my husband can still dive. It's also for the social aspect.

FWIW my LDS is planning a trip last the week of July 29 -Aug 3. the website hasn't been completely updated but as of last Friday the cost was $2199 USD for divers and there were 3 open spots left. ( The flight is out of Peoria IL connecting through Atlanta GA). Just an option for you.

Get your husband self reliant certified. He can do that down there and dive by himself.

We are going to be there 5-13 January, if you would like to join us.

We are also running a tec40 class that week.

I'll be diving there Feb 18 - Mar 3. I'm a solo diver and photographer looking for dive buddies. The boat diving there basically takes you to shore sites that are difficult or impossible to access from the shore. Boat dives to Klein bonaire being the exception. I see your viewpoint about the benefits of group diving but agree with noj3333. It's easy to rent a truck, get an unlimited shore diving air package and dive without a group.
