In less than 4 weeks I will be diving the beautiful shores of Bonaire. We are staying at the Coral Paradise Resort and doing a few boat dives out of Captain Don's and ALOT of shore diving. I am getting my Nitrox certification next weekend!! (Yea!!) This is our first trip to Bonaire and I have a few questions. I know there are many on this board that has made the trip and I want to tap into their knowledge.
1. Which dives are the "MUST DO" dives? I have bought the book "Diving & Snorkeling in Bonaire" and I have "Bonaire Shore Diving Made Easy" on order, so if I can get some dive site names I can reference them.
2. Are there any "don't waste your time" dives?
3. We plan on buying some groceries to keep expenses down. What are our options for groceries and would it be worth the hassel to bring some food from home (spices, etc.)?
4. What is your favorite spot to eat?
5. Do we need to worry about the stuff left in our rental vechicle while diving?
6. We use full footed fins, are the shore dives accessible in bare feet?
Any other tips and advice will be greatly appreciated!!
I CAN"T WAIT!!!!!!
Thanks in advance,
Pembina
