restrictions

no gloves-do not touch coral-actually do not touch anything underwater which protects the corals - Bonaire is a divers paradise.--freedom of diving and to respect your limits as to depth time etc. Bonaire presets ease of diving such as shore and boat diving. |

the bad was always with the traveling to and from the island (always the air flights--ALM-Air Aruba-American Airlines). Now flying to Bonaire has become very accomodating such as Air Jamaica to Monetego Bay and change planes to Bonaire (waiting time approx one to two hours) but arrive in Bonaire by 2.30pm. Now best of all Continental Airlines will be flying direct non-stop flight from Newark to Bonaire on Sat 11.55pm and arrive Sun 5.30pm. Also, they similar flight from Houston to Bonaire also non-stop. The good is the restaurants on the island diverse and good. The best staying at Sanddollar Condo and Hotels like living at home (from studio-one bedroom-two bedroom-three bedroom and town house) Greatest--the ease and beauty and hands off policy of diving |
