Comments	RETURN VISIT AFTER 18 YEARS. SADLY, AS IN SO MANY OTHER PARTS OF THE CARIBBEAN, BONAIRE IS A SHELL OF ITS FORMER SELF OF 18 YEARS AGO. CORALS WERE DEAD IN MANY SITES, FISH LIFE MUCH MORE SCARCE. MY WIFE AND RATED IT ABOUT 50% OF WHAT IT WAS LAST TIME. ALTOUGH WE BOOKED WAY IN ADVANCE AND SPECIFIED A WATERFRONT ROOM, WE WERE PUT IN ONE OF THE RUN DOWN TIME-SHARE UNITS BECAUSE OF A FRINK DIGITAL CAMERA COURSE GROUP. ONLY AFTER INSISTING ON GETTING WHAT WE PAID FOR WERE WE ACCOMMODATED OUR SECOND NIGHT.DIVE GUIDES WENT THROUGH THE MOTIONS, YOU COULD CATCH THEM LOOKING AT THEIR WATCHES ANTICIPATING THE END OF THEIR DIVE DAY. IF YOU WERE AT BONAIRE IN THE "GOOD OLD DAYS" & ARE THINKING OF GOING AGAIN YOU MIGHT WANT TO RECONSIDER.
