    Neoprene Allergy

    To the OP: did you use any of your gear in a pool? Chlorine will leach out the chemicals used in neoprene, making an allergic reaction much worse. I'm allergic to neoprene, or should I say to the Thiourea group of chemicals (I was tested 4 years ago). I found that wearing a skin under the...

    Restaurants in Bonaire

    El Fogon Latino is on Kaya Nikiboko Zuid. It's about a 5 minute drive from the church in the center of town. Check the location of the road on the free maps they give out with the rental vehicles. This restaurant is inexpensive and the food is really good. The Rose Inn in Rincon is also...

    Booking Bonaire

    I've always booked direct with Buddy Dive (and other hotels on Bonaire), using their toll-free number. Also booked the flights myself on Continental.com. Cheaper than with any of the local dive travel agents, or with my LDS.

    FS: DUI TLS 350 dry suit $400

    How old is the suit? What size are the turbo soles? Looks like there's a patch on the front from a p-valve? Can you please post some more detailed photos of the turbo soles and where they are attached to the suit, the p-valve patched area, the smudged area on the left knee and a view of the open...

    Cheap wide-angle lens. Does it exist?

    If you get the Tokina 12-24mm lens, it's also more useful/versatile for land use, unlike FE lenses. I use mine for WA shots/landscapes all the time, as well as underwater. You can get them used in your price range.

    Focus Light and Color

    I have the weaker version of that focus light (1 x5W), and while it works very well, I find it scares away the creatures. I was also considering adding some sort of red filter onto the front. Some manufacturers have red filters available for their focus lights. On most dives I used a weaker...

    SD Cards Failure rates and experiences

    I use them in my D80, and now my DMC-LX3. No issues yet, and I use 2, 4 and 8 gb cards. I always format the card in-camera after downloading to my pc and backing up. I've heard that if you format the cards in the card reader/pc that it can affect the life of the card.

    What brand of wetsuit is the best value?

    Some manufacturers have more sizes, with 'short' sizes available that have shorter inseams. I believe Bare is one of them, and I know Pinnacle has them as well. Shop around and see what else you can find. As mentioned before, make sure it fits. There's also tailoring, if the body fits and the...

    Bonaire accommodations?

    While it won't be high season, there will still be plenty of divers to be able to find buddies whereever you stay. I've also heard good things about Wannadive, especially for lone travellers wanting to meet other divers.

    Bonaire accommodations?

    Both of those are in a small "strip" of hotels/condos that includes Eden Beach, Den Laman, Sand Dollar, Buddy Dive, Captain Don's Habitat, Coral Paradise and Hamlet. Buddy Dive includes a rental truck, daily breakfast and free Nitrox upgrade, and apparently has a good bar scene, however I'm...

    is this a good lens AF-60mm

    I have the older lens, and it's my most-used lens when I shoot underwater in the tropics. Fish portraits, macro, super macro (with a wet diopter added). A very versatile lens!
