I am leaving for Bonaire on Saturday night and will be renting a place on Bonaire so I already have accomodations.
I have stayed at the Divi and the Sand Dollar Hotels.
The Divi has the best all around dive operation I have seen to date and I know that they have repaired the damage caused by the storm last fall, but I think I am on a first name basis with every fish off their pier so I need a change. The Sand Dollar is pretty good but I don't particularly care for storing my expensive equipment on open drying pegs and would prefer a locker that I can lock.
The spot must also have:
Jump in off their pier diving
night diving on site
no hassle about solo diving
restaurant nearby
near Kralendijk (within a few miles)
Any recommendations?
Thanks,
Sy
It's the 18 Palms dive site. Not the best but certainly worth diving. I wouldn't dive it unless staying there though as there's so much better less than a mile south of there.Question - what is the shore diving at the plaza like?

You don't say what part of the island the house you are renting is located. If it's South of the airport, I'd recommend Wannadive Windsock location. I just got back on Saturday (waaaaa) and used them as the condo I rented didn't have an onsite dive shop.
The location is great, they have the "hide a key" so you can dive off the location 24/7. They don't have a "pier" but a ladder to get in and out. No restaurant, but they do have a bar
It might be difficult to find a location anymore that has individual dive lockers like Belmar, and the one's at BDA. Most are the gear rooms with pegs. Here are some pics of the location.
Roomer's is a restaurant across from Belmar, so just a tad south of Windsock.

The house is located in the Saba Palm subdivision which is (south?) of the Airport.
