Dive Review of
Divi Flamingo Beach Resort and Casino in
Bonaire

 Extensive experience in the Caribbean, Pacific, Sea of Cortez, Atlantic,
etc. As an assistant instructor I lead dive groups on various dive
expeditions around the world.

Overall Rating

A disappointing overall review of Bonaire.  One of my group had his lap top
computer and the power supply stolen from his locked room.  Nothing else,
watch, camera, etc. was taken.  Obviously an inside job that the staff was
totally unable to understand, repeatedly saying that never happened in
Bonaire even though they had numerous security guards, one armed, roaming
the grounds.  The diving was again quite disappointing.  Beautiful reefs
devoid of all but small reef fishes.  An occasional eel, a couple of frog
fish and several sea horses, but nothing of any size.  One of the group
commented that he had never before seen a reef with so many vegetarian fish
on it, meaning anything that could be caught by a fisherman had already
been so.  All parrots, small damsels, chromis,and other very small fish. 
Broken fishing line was obvious draped over the reef on every dive we made.
 The dive sites are supposedly a protected park area, but the native
population, all fourteen thousand of them, are allowed to fish there.  If
the powers that be don't intervine soon there won't be any thing left to
see except a bunch of very small reef fish.
