    Best Snorkel Spots in Bonaire??

    I also have Mares Quatros, love them. But they're a little bit on the expensive side for a one weeks use. I would recommend to get over to the Dive Friends retail shop on the Hato traffic circle first thing after you get here. And buy a pair of their house brand booties (CDT Caribbean Dive...

    Bonaire and drones

    Not saying link of post #2 is not applicable. But is seems like that when reading link of post#3. It says someone was sentenced... Not for flying in general but for flying over the jail... And it is in line with the rules that apply in The Netherlands. So if you stick to the rules, respect...

    Dive site depth advice

    Enter at AC. Swim out to buoy. Decend and head straight out to 2nd reef. Head right on second reef until you come across big anchor chain. Chain is looped. Follow the part of chain that will take you on a slight right hand turn down onto the sand heading towards 1st reef. Follow the imaginary...

    Bonaire and drones

    I have a drone too and I do use it. Some places have signs drones prohibited. Like Washington Park and far south in the area of the Flamingo nesting area.

    Bonaire-National Park, Is it worth it?

    I can also explain so you can do it by yourself. It's no rocket science. You just need some pointers and so you know you're at the right spots and know what to do. But, if we go, I will make it worth your while. Make it some nice drift dives. And give you the ins and outs of some more spots in...

    Bonaire-National Park, Is it worth it?

    Kristen, good you did not go. You can't enter and exit the water just anywhere in that area. You need to use the channels to get through the fore-reef/barrier reef.

    Bonaire-National Park, Is it worth it?

    Candyland, Taylor Maid (and north until the N/W corner) is the healthiest and most beautiful coral reef of the entire leeward side. All big corals, sweet reef! If that's not worth the track, I don't know what is. :-) Kristen, let me know when you want to go there. I will give you some extra info...

    Fish ID help

    It is a small patch of large cup star coral. The Black Brotula is a special fish as it's the only bony fish in the Caribbean that bares live young. No eggs!

    Bonaire our way: a trip report

    Yes, you are correct. It's two dives in one video. Yours and next days Spelonk dive combined. Usually I make the video's per dive. But since I did not have enough footage due to lower viz when certain shot just do not come out great. And also because I wanted to use the precious bottom time...

    La Dianas Leap

    Don't worry too much about the current. If you find the current is running the wrong way just stay shallow, 20 to 30 ft, not going over down the drop off. Loads of nice coral, plenty of fish and it's usually where the Turtles hang out. There you find little to no current and probably get the...

    Octopus and squid

    And sometimes they are 'in the zone' and really don't care who's around... like this Conch killer at Cai. They are cool critters. Too bad they show up on so many restaurant menu's. There would be many more if they were not hunted so much.

    What is Bonaire Like If You Already Dove on Curaçao?

    You can dive Carel's Vision from shore too. Entry/exit actually easier than Nukove. Just a little walk down the trail. Added bonus, only one vehicle fits into the parking. So never a crowd :-) Indeed no spur and groove there. But some of the very large coral heads might make it look like that.
