Coming in!

My wife and I are coming back for our 12th(?) trip to Bonaire on Oct 24. What are the current diving conditions? Looking forward to warm sunsets and long dives.

We will be back on the 26th for 2 weeks our 12th time as well. I will go out on a limb and say conditions will be great

We've been diving the last 10 days, 37 dives so far. Days are generally very hot, a few cloudy days and some wind and rain. Water is very warm, 84-85 degrees. Visibility has been variable, maybe 40-80 feet. There is more red algae than I've ever seen, not terrible, some sites with hardly any. Good sea life, 4 seahorses (2 at 2 sites), 2 octopi, quite a few turtles, a few squid, tarpon, tiger grouper, all the usual reef fish

@scubadada are the sites with the red algae geographically consistent? We're planning on doing more northern sites this trip. Arriving Oct 12. WooHoo!!

The northern sites are consistently the best

Thanks for the info, regardless of temp, wind, viz, or anything else, we're planning on having a great time!

I'm glad is in the mid 80's, planning on going next week.
This past December was in the hi 70's and I was not quite prepared for that, it didn't mess with having a good time but it did reduced the amount of dives I made.
