I like Windsock. The entry/exit is fairly easy as Bonaire sites go, and as an added benefit, you can enter & exit near the large wooden pier, which serves as a nice, readily visible 'marker' for where to exit (if you tend to end your dive by surfacing, looking around for your exit site, then swimming to it).

Eighteen Palm at Plaza is good, the tarpon are great company. Easy stairs entry at the Tipsy Seagull restaurant.
 
Pick a site that you are comfortable and familiar with diving during the day. Night diving is awesome. We usually just dive on the house reef that we know well. Buddy's and Capt Don's are great for us. I would imagine any house reef would be great. Divi/Calabas also comes to mind.
 
We did two on La Machaca, they were great! The swarm of weird flatworms that seemed to be raining on us was creepy though!
 
My favorite was Lac Cai. We did it with VIP Divers and it was outstanding. Also did an ultra violet night dive at the Cliff with them and it was really interesting. Bari, Buddy's and Something Special were also great.
 
Bas Tol does the nightdive at Cai. He used to work for VIP but you find him now at basdiving.com, really worth doing!! You will not find more critters in any other nightdive, some you have never seen before!
 
We night dive the house reef at Buddy Dive mostly. It may not be the best dive on the island but it doesn't get any easier for entry, exit and navigation and cleaning gear after the dive. Lot's of small critters. Salt pier is a very good night dive IMO as well. We've dived Bari and the house reef at the Divi at night as well. All are very good. I am not enthusiastic about HH as entry and exit can be a problem in the dark, especially if there are waves.
