Overall Rating

     Sand Dollar Resort provides spacious condos with good water views,
huge open balconies.  Dated interiors but clean and well-kept.  Full
kitchens for eat-in, several good restaurants to walk to, and many in town
(vehicle required).  Maintenance person helped himself to $20 when he came
to our unit for and electrical problem.
     Bonaire Dive & Adventure supplies the shore diving business far
more so than boat diving, so bulk of business is filling (free) nitrox
tanks, as well as air.  Our one boat dive with them was very average, both
in terms of dive site and divemaster.  We chose not to do it again.  Shore
diving was the order of the day (week)using trucks supplied in our package.
 Very thorough orientation, helpful and friendly personnel.  I would
recommend them, and maybe you would have a more positive experience on
their boat dives.
     Bonaire underwater topography is mostly very similar ... a little
steeper in the north, more gradual to the south.  Could take a beginner to
any site that we dove with no problems.  Biggest issue was negotiating the
first 50' into the water, over coral and sometines urchins.
     In a week of 20 dives, about 3-4 that we would call noteworthy in
terms of flora/fauna.  A pleasant week, glad we did it, not certain we
would return, but definitely a must do once for a diver.
