Well the only (IMHO sane) way you're going to dive Rappel is from a boat. Of course legend has it (yes there are photographs to document) that the first divers (Bruce Bowker and co) at this site did it the old fashioned way. They were and still are trailblazers, extremely knowledgeable and competent professionals.
The hell with that. One of my life goals is to Aussie Rappel down that cliff and dive the site from shore. :D
 
I just got back from a week on Bonaire. We dove out of Dive Friends Yellow Submarine shop. On Mon 4/21/14 we did a 2 tank dive. The boat left at 9ish and didn't get back to the dock until 2PM. There were 14 passengers all with 2 tanks...lots of weight. The first stop was a complete disaster. The boat took on A LOT of water from the stern and they had to quickly disconnect from the mooring and get the boat up to plane to drain all the water out. We didn't think that the dives off the island were all that and cancelled the other boat dives we had scheduled.
