ah, the 12 ounce curl really builds up those guns...just breathe on the exertion...bahhhh

Good question! To keep our economy alive and MORE SO, keep the airlift thriving, book legal rentals only, please. If tax is not collected, it's not a legal rental. This revenue is critical for our economy! There are some really affordable options in the legal domain. Some of the properties I use...

The room tax applies if folks book legal rentals. Air BnB, Homeaway and VRBO are killing legal rentals. Millions of tax dollars are lost due to these rentals. I think I read Amsterdam may outlaw Air BnB Is Airbnb Really Ruining Rental Markets? Amsterdam, Airbnb agree new deal to stop illegal...

I don't run tickets anymore but would be happy to track flights for anyone who needs help. Don't lose hope. Avoid peak travel dates whenever possible. I still believe Bonaire is one of the most affordable islands. Call it a conspiracy theory but I wonder if the airfares are higher because so...

I have some dive clients who travel with spouses and partners who do not dive. To find a balance where all enjoy the many aspects of Bonaire, I love to share the plethora of wellness activities. To that end, my colleagues and I put together a website spotlighting the many aspects of Wellness on...

love the details, thanks for taking the time

So true, Casa Vasca used to be amazing.. Casa Vasca - Newark, NJ

I agree, CUR airport is a NIGHTMARE. I never ever go downstairs unless I have no choice. I wish I had the time and energy to share the horrible experiences I have had entering CUR as a transit point to connect on Divi. I still do this option at times (Using AA or Jet Blue to get to CUR) and...

I am super excited for AA to return. When they ended service in 2008, it changed flight options, dramatically. I fly 6-8 round trips a year from BON to BOS. Most of the time, I fly AA from Curacao. I like the CLT Saturday route but usually transfer in MIA. I ONLY use Divi Air. I refuse to fly...

The options are staggering. Most have a favorite. If I could make any rec, please book at legal and legit property vs one of the many illegal rentals on Bonaire. A Family of 5 might do well at a condo property with a three bedroom. I recommend Belmar, the sister property to Buddy Dive. More...

Airfares are high for peak dates. Are you checking Yapta and Hopper and ITA Matrix to find cheaper air? United is always cheaper than Delta. The good news is, once you are on Bonaire, it's very affordable.

IMHO our market is saturated thanks to private rentals post 10-10-10. Air BnB, Homeaway and VRBO have contributed dramatically to the decline in hotel occupancy rates. It's true about the low occupancy at Courtyard Marriott. I fear most who stay there will be using their Marriott points (as I...

It's going to be amazing. The pool alone will be to die for. It's a sprawling hotel property with a strong Dutch influence. The design is Euro chic. I inspected the property in August and write the website. Don't overthink this one if you seek a lovely hotel experience. Dive Friends being on...

Last year, our 6 year drought ended so we did have some good rain. Rain= bugs. With that said, it's dry again. Come on down.

following..was in St. Vincent, Bequia and the Grenadines in 1990. Back then, Dive Bequia was the way to go. Personally, I'd head to the smaller islands vs St. Vincent. Mayreau and Tobago Cays not to miss!

no such thing

Do not bring a cell phone on any dive, period. Nothing of value. Folks bringing iPads, wallets and other valuables have created opportunity. This is not isolated to Bonaire but any tourist destination. It's just more apparent in the Caribbean islands due to forums like this. Heck, 30 years ago...

So FUN!! Happy Diving..bon bini
