Good video of it.... ummm, the steps, the diver had great control as well. Hopefully Hilltop or Stinapa is on the way to fix it.
The two rungs make a huge difference for most people. One rung I can handle.. I am 5'7 average weight and it was a huge challenge, except for my husbands push the tush technique

We were there Sept 20-27th no issues.

Hey Scubamurr, does that mean all the rungs were there, or that you didnt have a problem getting up the ladder?

Was just there also... Missing one step and the other step bends in the middle... As in it's ready to break... The ladder itself is really good.. Just the steps need to be replaced... Don't know if they have it in bonaire or not... But a composite step made with a stainless steel under brace would last a long , long time and not break like the wood steps that they used...

Any word on the ladder being fixed ??? I'm booked to fly 2/4/2015 to bonaire... I would have no problem bring down three new composite steps for the ladder if needed... Just need size to cut them to...

I just dove Oil Slick Leap today and .... tadaaaaaaaa Caribbean Club has repaired the ladder. There is one rung that is a bit soft, but otherwise, all is good to go!! Thanks Caribbean Club!! Also, there is a HUGE, i mean HUGE French angel under the ladder you can see upon exit.
Great dive!!
