The diving at Divi/Dive Bonaire is outstanding.  Both my wife and I need
help due to age and infirmatives while entering and exiting,  The help was
always cheerfully given.  The unlimitted dive package is one 2-tank morning
dive and a 1-tank afternoon dive.  Thus in two weeks I got 36 boat dives. 
The boats are in good condition and we experienced no maintenance problems
in the two weeks.  Our first week was relatively quiet with two boats going
out most days.  The second week was quite busy with several large groups
and five boats going out most days.  Despite this, the boats all left on
time and we had great diving, although we learned to avoid one boat with an
obnoxious rebreather diver.  Serge, the dive manager and the dive operation
staff were outstanding.
We stayed in the timeshare suites.  They are old, but are in the process of
being refurbished.  Most of the furniture was new this year and in the near
furture the showers will be reworked and the kitchen appliance replaced.  A
great place to stay and get lots of diving for your money.
