We just got back from Bonaire yesterday. I quickly want to share our thoughts on the trip. In our family we have non-divers and divers. Diving was good. Snorkeling was nice but the dramatic drop in depth around the island limits how far from the coast you can snorkel and have great visibility. So snorkeling was just good. The best spot was 1000 ...

Divi Flamingo JUST OK
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/04/07
Just got back from diving Bonaire. The hotel condition is marginal and should not be expected to be 4 star. The location is what you go for and the diving. The food at the hotel is OK nothing more, walk down the street to the Cactus Bar or Casa Blanca. The mixed grill here will have you not eating again for 24 hours. The dive shop is helpful and ...

Bonaire is Paradise
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/10/05
Love Bonaire - everything about it is AWESOME! Especially the shore diving. Going back in two weeks!! Clear water and lots of marine life. Pictures and descriptions don't even come close to doing justice to this place!!
Everyone in my family still dreams of the time we spent on Bonaire!
We all got out scuba certification there the first few days, then hopped around dozens of island hotspots! But you don't have to scuba, you can snorkel and still see incredible sites!
The first day we arrived we dumped our bags in our room, grabbed our masks and ...

Very quiet, low number of turists, beautiful nature, nice poeple, safe, fair prices, excellent conditions for windsurfing, snorkeling, kayaking, bird watching, fishing and other sports activities.
I just love absolutely every single part of this Island. From the night life to the day life. The Island is absolutely beautiful. The tours are forever memorable. I loved the Villa we stayed inside while visiting the Island,there were green lizards all over but they weren't scary. they were actually cute. I also visites St. Croix the Virgin Islands while over, I can't wait to return, I may have my wedding here.

Happy Holiday Homes and unlimited tanks at Buddy's
Bonaire is a great place to dive. You don't need to stay at a resort, and you don't need a boat. All you need are tanks (for about $100 for a week, unlimited at Buddy's dive resort), a truck to rent, and a clean quiet place to stay (Happy Holiday Homes). We saved a ton over the dive resport room rates, and got a nice 2 bedroom condo ...
This is the best place to go diving!!!!!! The nice thing about it is that all the diving is right off the shore so you do not have to get up at a certain time to get a dive boat it is all flexible and you just can not believe what you see. There is tons of fish, the vareity of sponges just unbelievable!!!!!
The laid back atmosphere of bonaire can be annoying when you first arrive because no one is in a hurry to do anything. But, by the time you leave you won't want to leave it behind. This is a great way to put life in slow motion and really relax while diving at your own pace. Great shore diving makes this an unforgettable experience. All you ...

Beautiful Island
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/30/05
Bonaire is a place to retire. A scuba divers paradise with a wide array of fish. First place to see a shark. This island is a model for all countries to follow. Very strict environmental laws which has preserved the coral reef. A lot of history is present on the island with the old slave huts mining the salt mines. Natural habitat of ...
