Bonaire

I would appreciate feedback on those of you who have scuba in Bonaire.
I am thinking about going end of June.

My husband/buddy and I have been five times in the last five years. It is a
really great dive destination.

We have stayed at several different hotels. We find Buddy's is convenient
and their dive shop/divemasters are efficient and knowledgable. The ability
to be able to shore dive any time you want is real incentive. The water is
warm, around 80*. There are also a couple of good places to eat. One of
the better places is Blue Agave.

I'll be at Buddy's in only 16 days, for only my second (but hardly
last) visit. I second the "really great"ness of Bonaire.

We have signed up to go to Curacao this year instead of Bonaire. My
wife doesn't dive, but does like sun, sand and cabana boys

Thank goodness....i thought they discovered a new site. Karpata is
quite good, however, getting out can get sort of dicey when the wind
picks up. I usually stop at the slab, remove my fins, and walk out, but
once in a
while a rogue wave kicks my butt. If you can get safely to the slab,
most of the time, you have it made.
