I'll be returning to Bonaire after a long time away from the island visiting other locations. So after getting past the theft that I saw both in 2007 and 2011, I guess it faded somewhat and all I can remember is how much I enjoyed the shore diving and thought, let's give Bonaire another try. So, I'll be at Divi with a non diver friend and will be diving solo or with anyone that would be around at the sites. Let me know if you're going to be around July 2 through 10, diving July 3-9.
While I'm at it, anybody know, in the recent (last two weeks) water temp there? I'm not looking for a guess or a normal, but if you've been there in the water I'd love to know if you see 79, 80, or 81 ?
Also anybody that's been there in the last 6 months or so want to tell me their favorite "nice" restaurant, "medium priced" restaurant, and "good value" or lunch restaurant? I'd like to have good experiences at all 3 types depending on our mood for that day. Last time there, I watched a woman get her purse grabbed from her arm at an outside seat along a railing from someone walking up the sidewalk along the restaurant. I didn't forget that !!! Thanks in advance for all of the useful info. Please leave the opinions about theft there to yourself as I know all about the proper things to do while renting a truck while on a dive trip. I am neither expecting a problem nor going to dwell on what I experienced there 5 and 9 years ago. I'm there to shore dive and have fun, eat well, meet fun people, and use my head concerning safety as I always do. Thank you
