Comments	This was my first time to Bonaire and came with a group of friends, about 20 divers. Shore diving was a new experience. It requires a little bit of work. Bari Reef, the house reef, was much easier, just take a giant stride off the pier. 1/3 of our dives were at Bari Reef. The diving was great and the on site dive staff were helpful and friendly. We had a ground floor unit at Sand Dollar with an open air back patio. The unit was OK, nothing fancy. We had daily maid service and air conditioning. Breakfast was included in our rate. Made to order omelettes, fresh fruit, juice, coffee, bagel, toast. Truck rental and nitrox included in our package. Unlimited shore diving. Our group had been to Bonaire the previous year and stayed at Buddy Dive (next door to Sand Dollar). They all preferred Buddy Dive.
