Typical Nitrox

why would you want exactly 35%? Yes that will have ppo of 1.40 at 100ft but what's the reason of getting exactly 35%?

You got it exactly. it is my assumption that there is sand at 100fsw for 90% of the dives and to maximize the bottom time(min N2) at that depth and minimize the O2 load at 1.4 works out to 35%, however after reading the above posts I will be diving all 32% and not worrying about O2, and will deal with the N2 as it presents itself.
Happy diving, 12 days and counting.

that's the idea for rec diving Bonaire and most vacation destinations - unless you're doing something very specific where it really matters, it's not worth fussing about. They're just going to pump something resembling 32%. You're just going to check it and make sure you've got something reasonable, adjusting as needed or rejecting a tank if necessary. And you're done.

Frankly at EAN32 you would have a lot of trouble hitting ppO2 limits and/or NDL limits on Bonaire - even at 5-6 dives per day in my personal experience. I usually dive fairly deep at least twice daily and often do 4-5 dives per day. Never even got close on NDL or ppO2 maxes. I do tend to follow the guideline of 1.6 ppO2 max however. That lets me do 130 fsw around Buddy's and Habitat. It keeps me very safe on my frequent Hilma Hooker dives (best at night or sunrise before the hordes arrive by boat or shore).

Yup, just completed 25 dives last week there on the house Nitrox from Buddy. No problems with NDL max at all.

As others have said, you will likely get 32% and you WILL have a great time with Buddy's! No worries there my friend!

The best diving in Bonaire (most of the time) is found between 25 and 75 feet. I spend most of my time in Bonaire at 25-45 feet. I like to hover like a statue in one spot for 20 minutes and see what shows up.

Have a blast...you won't be able to help it!
