Comments -Shore diving trip this time
-We stayed at The Caribbean Club, part of Buddy's. Lodging, truck and tanks/weights is what we needed to rent. We didn't go to Buddy's at all during the week except the drop off the truck the night before we left.
-The Caribbean Club is always great. We rent a cottage so do all our own cooking except for breakfast as it is included. The breakfast was very nice every day.
-Diving the east side with BAS is always fun and the dives are good also.
-Bonaire has such a great vibe, really enjoy the laid back atmosphere. Have yet to meet anyone that wasn't nice and helpful.

UW Photo Comments What's nice about Bonaire is there is plenty of subjects in the coral and with clear water and light current you can really take time to set up a shot or simply practice. I didn't see a lot of rare subjects however there are some beautiful corals there and loads of fish. Great place to learn.
