Comments Bonaire diving is almost always outstanding but noticed with the aging of divers the various shore entries getting progressively harder to make. We found many of older hyper experienced divers opting out of the shore dives from the trucks choosing Buddy's house reef instead. Why hasn't Bonaire recognized the trend and provided improved shore entry? I resent being one of those older divers who opted out.
