    Vaping on Bonaire (not diving related)

    Hi everyone, I still haven't kicked my nicotine addiction. I switched from smoking to vaping tho. Does anyone know if and where I could find e liquid on Bonaire?

    Increasing crime in Bonaire

    I find it very strange that people have such a big misconception of how it is on the Island. When I read a thread like this I would expect to wake up with a horse head in my bed... I'm on the island right now (for the 4th year in a row) and simply loving the laid back atmosphere and diving...

    Lost and found Bonaire

    While diving Front Porch yesterday, I found an earring. If you lost one while snorkling/diving, chances are I found yours. Claim it here or via PM.

    We're returning to Bonaire next week. Was just wondering if there would be any interest in a new on island Trip report or not.

    Bonaire for vegans

    At the end of May my husband and I will be returning to Bonaire for the 4th time. I've been a vegetarian for 12 years and know that it is quite easy to get a vegetarian meal in Bonaire. Since this year I switched to a complete vegan life style. We are prepared to do quite some home cooking...

    Bonaire going down the drain??

    Perhaps because they use nets and not lines? Perhaps because they work on industrial scale in the north sea? I find it strange that you disagree with me. I'm not stating that I am for or agains the fishing. You stated that the fishing was done illegaly and I have provided you with info...

    Bonaire going down the drain??

    Mitridate, it sometimes is useful to check for things on the internet yourself. Information is your friend... from the stinapa website: STINAPA - Bonaire National Marine Park Fishing Bonaire is popular for fishing. We recommend targeting blue water fish and leaving our reef fish...

    Apparently international harbor law still prohibits it. My reasoning was: 'look yellow stones... No sign that we are not allowed to dive... It is mentioned as a dive site on the map... Eh what the hell, lets gear up... Nobody stopped us, so we had a wonderful dive. We were not the only people...

    10 MAR We did our last dive today :( But what a dive it was!! Salt Pier is great, we absolutely loved it. And it was my 100th dive. The place has a special feeling to it. Lots of tarpons and again barracudas around. After the dive we turned in our lead at Wannadive, and returned to BBB...

    9 MAR Our first dive took us to Andrea I, which was a complete surprise to me. I hadn't expected anything special there, but we ended up spotting 3 turtles, 2 big midnight parrot fish, 3 octopus, 1 Tarpon, 1 ocean trigger fish and loads of other stuff. After our dive we drove to Elle's...

    No, the reef was pretty beat up everywhere. There where some patches with healthy coral. It makes for an interesting dive as you're swimming from patch to patch over rubble. At first I felt somewhat disappointed as I had expected something more in the line of Taylor Made, but afterwards I...

    8 MAR We had quite an interesting day of diving. First dive was on Cliff where we saw 5 Tarpons, 2 midnight parrotfish, a stingray, ... We then stopped at Elle's for take out sandwiches, which we ate at White slave before we dove there. White slave had a lot of current ripping through...

    7 MAR We went up to Nukove. The reef is pretty beat up, but the landscape is so beautiful up there. It is wonderful. You can really feel completely alone up there. For lunch we had pizza leftovers from Pasa Bon Pizza, they get even better when they have been stored in the fridge for a...

    no shiny things that I notice. Hubby has the same equipment and they are not as interested in him as in me... Creepy things :) If we get the chance we will try Unbelievable. But unfortunately the holiday is coming to an end. :(

    6 Mar only one dive today since it was also carnaval!! :D We dove tailor made, which is absolutely breathtaking beautiful. Conditions where calm so we decided to try and get in. It was not very easy, but certainly doable. We met up with some friends at BBB in order to go to the parade...

    5 Mar At the moment Wanadive is having some problems keeping all their air topped up. We haven't asked them what's going on, but there is a strict one bottle per person rule at the moment. This kinda sucks when you find your valve to be leaking when you arrive at the dive spot. The leaking...

    We had no current at all. We'd tried it earlier in our trip, but the surface conditions told us it was a no go. Yesterday the sea was completely calm, it looked as if there would be a bit current, but that was just the surface. Once below there was nothing... It was great! Other people tell us...

    4 MAR Since the weather was pretty calm, we wondered if Red Slave would be calm as well. We decided to check it out... We got stuck at Kralendijk because there was some sort of parade going on, and we had to turn back in order to find another route. We weren't up for the entire tour via...

    03 Mar Today we only did one dive. But man, it was a good one! We went to something special, which is a really beautiful place. There was quite some current blowing north, so we decided to head back to the entry quite early (at 150 bar), giving us more than enough breathing room :) We're...

    Hard to tell, you can make it as cheap or as expensive as you want to make it... We generally pay about $30 for lunch and $60 for dinner. That's for two people, including drinks. On the island you usually have the opportunity to cook your own meal and/or make your own sandwiches. We don't...
