My wife and I traveled to Bonaire July 19-29, 2023 for our annual dive vacation.
We were part of a small group of divers and non divers staying at Divi Flamingo Resort.
We flew from Nashville through Miami on American Airlines.
Our outbound flights had no issues, but our return flight to Nashville was delayed overnight.
Due to the resort remodeling half the Deluxe Oceanfront rooms, we stayed in a studio.
We did not cook any meals, but did enjoy the experience.
The resort staff were friendly and helpful. Housekeeping was available every day.
The breakfast buffet was included in our package and we enjoyed these each morning.
We ate a few lunches at Chibi Chibi restaurant on property, but
most lunches we had sandwiches at the cabanas on the deck overlooking the ocean.
Most nights we walked to town for dinner, sometimes as a group and others as a couple.
Members of our group ate at Rumba, Patagonia, and Trocadero during our stay.
Our group again, made almost nightly trips to Gio’s for gelato.
Our dive package included boat dives and unlimited shore diving tanks. We did all our shore diving off the pier at Divi on the house reef. The pier by the dive shop is still unusable, so we dove off the South pier. The ladders are more challenging to use than the steps at the damaged dock.
The shop has wagons to help with transporting gear around the resort.
We dove green sites each morning and afternoon shore dives at house reef.
The SCTLD disinfecting procedures were easy to follow and Divi has tanks on dock.
We saw a spotted eagle ray, baby trunk fish, several turtles, lobster, crab and multiple octopus.
We really enjoyed the ten night length of the trip.
One afternoon, another couple and us rode to Jibe City and around the south end of island.
I have attached a video of the highlights of our trip.
We shared another wonderful trip to Bonaire with great friends and fabulous diving.
We hope to return in 2024 for another great visit to the island.
