Overall Rating

We started going to Bonaire in 2001 and have gone every year since and this
year was our fifth.  We even booked our 2006 room while we were there.  We
found Bruce Bowker’s Crib Inn by researching the Chapbook.  The Carib Inn
is a small quaint place that you instantly feel welcome.  You will see a
tall lanky individual with a nice sense of humor fluttering around the
place making sure everything is as it should be … that is Bruce.   The
entire staff is warm and friendly.  Bruce has one of the best dive shops on
the island and the prices are excellent.  Bruce and the staff are always
ready to lend a hand and will repair or resolve most gear problems quickly
and will not take anything in return.  This year was the first year that
they offered Nitrox and although they do not blend it there, we always had
enough for our party of four.  I have recommended the Carib Inn to several
individuals that were either going for their first time or returning from a
prior year and each time, that individual thanked us and raved about the
operation and their experience.    In addition, Bruce now offers wireless
internet service by the pool area.  Bruce has two small boats that can get
you to any dive site quickly.  You are never rushed into the water or out
of the water.  Most days we did one boat dive and a couple of shore dives. 
We always rent a truck while there but you do not really need to because
you can do mostly boat dives, shore dive right at the inn, walk to several
nice restaurants, and walk into town.  The taxis are nice and inexpensive
and will cover those need trips to the grocery store.  I don’t think that
you will find a bigger bang for your dive dollar.
