Two Older divers heading for Bonaire - Boat Dive Operators recommendations

[RJP]

Thanks, RJP. I obviously misread the WD site.

I think most boats really tout their Klein trips as the draw... since that option isn't available to shore divers.

For boat dives, check which operators have you carry your own tank to and/or from the boat, and which have the tanks on board for you, so no carrying. Buddy Dive is the latter; I don't know about others.

Good advice, but when you check be sure to ask about both taking tanks on and off the boat. My memory may be hazy but I am pretty sure that the last time we dived with BD&A (about 5 years ago) they had the full tanks on the boat when you boarded, but you had to carry the empties back after the dive. Someone please correct me if I have remembered that incorrectly.
