Yeah, that's great that you can spread the airfare cost over three weeks and that your situation apparently allows you to omit the so-called opportunity cost (what you could theoretically have earned had you not been taking vacation), but the typical Bonaire trip is one week, and every day I am not working "costs" me money. For some of us, taking MORE vacation time does not result in "maximizing dives per dollar" as the OP put it.
For the record, I Don't get paid for time off. And I'm not independently wealth or anything even close. I'm a carpenter. But what I do have is a complete and total addition to diving and underwater photography. I do save every where I can to support my habit. And I look for the cheapest place I can go.... Bonaire.
I bought my own boat.
