Nardulli,
Here's something to consider: If there are some pieces of extra Gear that you don't have yet, you could ask some of the more experienced people going to Bonaire about the possibility of borrowing some things.
You might be looking for an excuse to go to ScubaToys or your LDS to get stuff, but some of us are constrained by budgets. No sense going totally deep into debt when you have "friends" that might be able to help. I am not talking about the basics, but some of the "extras".
I can't begin to speak for anyone else, but I might be able to help, and it is my nature to try to help. For example I have several good dive lights and a few back-up lights. If you didn't have a dive light or a back-up, I could probably be convinced to bring a spare. (as if I wouldn't already be trying to justify bringing a spare!)
-----------------------
However, that was somewhat off topic: You said you have all your own gear, and you asked about Spares, so forgive me for digressing.
It is a really good idea to start your own little "kit" of spares, and there are several threads about what should be included. The list above is a decent starting point. Dive shops sell "Save A Dive Kits" that many people on here have slammed thoroughly. I bought one as a starting point, but I have added to it over the years based on my thoughts, my experiences and the advice of others including here on ScubaBoard.
A spare fin strap (that fits your fins) is essential. A spare mask strap is really good to have. O-rings in the common sizes are indispensable. A spare mouthpiece is very good. I pack a Leatherman / Gerber and a Scuba Tool and that will cover most things. (Trying to think of things NOT on the list above, but still essential . . .) Spare bulbs for each light.
Extra clips or retractors are kinda the next level of stuff. Locally I bring an extra pair of gloves, but not traveling. A backpacking trick for Duct Tape is to wrap one or two strips a couple feet long around a pen. That way you have some but not a big huge roll. TSA has been stopping people with kanuter valves, and transmogrifiers are no longer allowed on airplanes.
Also think about meds and such. Consider some Bonine and something for swimmer's ear. I carry some swabs/wipes for stings and bites, and I have seen the need for Bandaids on dive boats on numerous occasons. Some Imodium could be a life saver. I pack some Sudafed just in case.
FWIW, I carry stuff not only to save my dive and to save my day, but also to help save other people's dives. (because that also makes my day better!)
I will try to look to see if I have any other wonderful goodies in my bag at home.
See you in about 40.
