Insel Air flies to Bonaire from Miami (via Curacao) for a lot less than $1000.

I should've specified I usually fly from either Little Rock, AR, or Nashville, TN, to Atlanta, than on to Bonaire, & back the same way. A lot of people in the U.S. would need similar arrangements. If you live near an airport with non-stop service to Bonaire, you might shave off a few bucks!

You are but a child :). Certified at young age of 56. 150+ dives later I see that it was a very wise choice for this "mature diver". Besides, too much younger and I could not have been able to afford 3-4 tropical vacations a year.
 
Got certified when I was 28 but am just getting back into diving now at almost 61. As long as you are healthy enough to dive then whats age got to do with it? You are just starting off on one of the best adventures of your life. Good luck and have fun!
 
Just joined the club, 63 years old, started SCUBA diving when I was 16 when I joined the British Royal Navy. In 1968, aged 20 I became an RN Clearance Diver and in 1974 a Commercial Diver working the offshore oil fields worldwide. I stopped Commercial Diving in 1987, aged 40, but still SCUBA. My partner, Meryl, also dives as a PADI Open Water Diver and my daughter, now aged 11, did her PADI Bubble Maker Course when she was 8 and this year made PADI junior Open Water Diver.

As to an age limit for diving - there is none all you need to enjoy diving is a full tank of air and the love of going under water.

I am still working in the Offshore Diving Industry as a Dive Lead for ExxonMobil, once the diving scene is in your blood you will be hooked. We plan our holidays around diving and water sports, we are also luckily enough to own a 2 bed roomed apartment in Sahl Hasheesh, Red Sea, Egypt - you know that place where sharks eat people..!! Only kidding, but a great place to dive or learn to dive.

Anyway, enough about me - keep sucking and blowing..!!
