Usually, check dives are enforced in Bonaire. After a short interview, Toucan cleared me to dive the east side of Bonaire without the check dive in their house reef. |

This is my third trip to Bonaire. Did some diving in the esat side with Larry's Wild Side Diving- good for a change- I was the only diver in their pontoon boat. Experienced a bit more of a current, but nothing serious. No large pelagics, though had a good dive with a school of tarpons. Klein Bonaire and the west side of Bonaire were great, as always. Saw pods of dolphins, and several seahorses and frogfish. However, saw no trutles in this trip. Saw a bit of damage in coral in the shallows. |
