We always have a great time in Bonaire. Were a little worried about the
damage by recent hurricanes. The preliminary reports from there were good
(actually not so accurate don't scare the paying customers away) The
visibility was not so hot this trip as low as 30 feet on some sights.  The
storm mucked up the waters pretty well. Didn't see much damage except down
South in the Red Slave area. The soft corals were torn up and a little bit
of the reef was wasted. At most dive sights there was lots of silt between
the corals and sponges. We still managed to do 39 dives in 10 days and saw
several Frogfish (even found one w/o a Divemaster's help <grin>) a
lot of Juvy Trunkfish, several Turtles, Several Rays, 2 Sea Horses, Batwing
Crabs, Eels galore, and almost anything you can expect in Bonaire. Great
food at Rum Runners, Mona Lisa, It Rains Fishes, Casablanca, and Lion's
Dive. Do rent a truck. There are too many dive sights and not enough time.
