Very interested in who you went with. Will save me emails. I work very hard to avoid situations where I'm not allowed to dive my computer.

Not sure if this is late to need, but either do the cruise ship tour, or don't dive. The ship anchors up 30 min from mainland and 30 min from diving....you'll spend 3 hours on a boat to the mainland, back to the atoll and repeat vs 1 hour RT directly off the ship.

Hey all! Anyone going to AKR that week? We have 4, but looking for another 4 divers with at least AOW and moderate experience so we can "own" our boat. PM me if interested.Thx!

A 2 piece Jacket and John are what I used for many years. The advantage is you can scale depending on the water temp. Just the Jacket is good for mild water (over 80) and is great for lobstering where you always seem to scratch your arms. You can also put on a skin under it for rash guarding...

Old shorty maybe a 1. The new vest probably 2lb. Remember at the start you are heavy due to the air anyway and by the end of the dive it will be saturated, so you should be OK. Other question is how you normally weight? Are you "perfect" at 500psi at the end of the dive, or still a little...

Great comments all. Between my son and I we cover SSI, PADI, NAUI and TDI. Second and third the "it's not the agency". Just this weekend I saw an instructor with a student (or guided dive) BOTH standing on the bottom of the ocean. Yep and instructor standing on the bottom. I also teach...

Not looking good for us Aeris guys. Huish purchases the combined Oceanic and Aeris. They do not maintain ANY Aeris SW or tools. They can't even just reload the firmware. They DID offer to upgrade me to an Oceanic that is similar for the cost of a refurb ($175-250 vs $600-800).

I'd love to have specific entry/exit tips for those sites as well as any that other people would like to post. We definitely didn't spend enough time in the shallows....my wife usually takes her camera but did not on this dive....when she does, last 15-20 min are less than 20 feet!

Hey, same week we were there! We did boat dives with them, so no issues with the lockers to start, but we didn't get a replacement after the changeover....with our dive schedule didn't make sense. Good info and I'll check with them to be sure. The first dive we did their house reef 4 or 5...

Check Trip Advisor Nothing is really "Cheap", but there are some excellent selections....in order of expense (all great food) Kite City food truck Iguana Blue Food truck Between Two buns Eddy's Hangout beach bar (table BBQ!!!) Mezze We spent as much on the last 3 as we did on all other meals we...

Salt Pier. This is one of the iconic dives of Bonaire. An absolute must do! The significant structure attracts all kinds of life from large pelagics to cuttlefish and everything in between. ENTRY. There are two entry points we like. The most popular is to the North of the pier. At first...

Dive Site details - Specific locations we dove with entry and exit tips and features description. National Park – NW sites –We drove out the first trip. Be advised, this is a HORRIBLE drive. We did two dives, Playa Funchi and Wayaka. They entries were not bad and the dives were OK, but were...

We just finished our second trip to Bonaire last week and we had a much more enjoyable experience mainly due to the learning curve. I'd like to share some tips and tricks and site specific info that will hopefully make your trip better. Getting there. Where you are coming from makes a...

Lou, good to see the feedback from the trips! You used all the same guys I have used. I have been with Anthony's Key, but as a shore guest. In calling several dive operators, I found many use a different standard for their cruise guests than resident guests. I think it's the cruise line's...

Were the reviews just general diving in Amber cove, or diving while cruising? If off the cruise ship, booking through the cruise lines or separately? Thanks!

No way you can get in 4 dives on that schedule. However for reference, use a time converter (we do this all the time) to make sure. Typically the Ships in the Caribbean stay on the time of the port. Only once in 12 years and 20+ cruises have we ever had them change time. So just convert the...

Never even been close to being late, but we do a lot of coordination with the operation before. 2 good dives (deep, long, nitrox) and I'm ready for a rum drink anyway. Some locations that is all you will have time to do....others you can go shopping or other activities.

Raisekayn and I are on the Carnival Valor on 21 May out of Canaveral. Anyone interested in linking up for a dive in DR? We exchanged email with several vendors and settled on Diwa Dive Center. They will provide all gear if you want, with nitrox and allow you to dive your computer profile...
