I can say having heard from STINAPA they already agree with your approach. If you stay with Red then you can wait to disinfect till after your day is done. Their preference is for you stay in the same sector, so if you are diving something special you stay in the general vicinity but at a min...
Check where you are staying that your appliance(Most Phones) show 100-240V, 50/60 Hz, IT is the frequency you need to be sure of. Ladies your US hair dryer will burn out.
It is low season so cruise ships are minimal now compared to what it will be in November. But most who live here either part-time or full would rather them be gone. Ever been in the water nearby when those engines start-up or even the horns?
It does depend on the time of year and the rental location. On the water and between Nov through March is high season and most rentals have increased their daily rate so they are not looking for long-term stays.
Just what we do not want to happen in Bonaire. One big difference is with the first sighting in Sept 2020 and they did not aggressively attack. I will stand with STINAPA let's do what we can control early. Also looks like STINAPA's Coral Spawning Calendar is the rage with ROATAN to put together...

So rather than take the more cautious approach and be a help even if it is a stopgap - you are screw them I am not doing anything different. Always easy to say when you have no skin in the game.
Good call, I am afraid far too many doing shore dives are ignoring the procedures and taking the STINAPA guidelines seriously by not staying in the same area to do your dives for the day and possibly helping spread the disease.
Latest update: North is closed effective May 1st.
Important SCTLD Update: After careful consideration and assessment, STINAPA, as the managing organization of the Marine Park has made the difficult decision to close the north side of Bonaire for diving, from north of Karpata to Malmok...
This impressive achievement comes just days after he set the previous record of 153 meters.
Last Saturday, Molchanov already set a new record with a dive of 153 meters, but he was determined to further improve his performance. Thanks to the ideal weather conditions and the support of his...
