Comments	I first dived Bonaire in 87. The ease of the boat diving, and shore diving was superb. As a new diver. Bonaire played a huge part in my early addiction to our sport.July of 2016 was my 13th trip to Bonaire. I have stayed at Flamingo zbeach, Sand Dollar,Lions Dive, Cpt. Don's. BUT, for the past decade or more, we have been wuth BUDDY, perhaps 8 trips. They make the dive experience so positive. even when they are full. Our first week, though, kids csmp was there, and it was a bit of a zoo, little room to gear up. AVOID booking kids trip week, for adult divers. Even so, we toss our gear in the pickup, and cherry pick sites up and diwn the island. NO OTHER island offers this freedom! We only did 2 boat dives all 2 weeks! The digital photo shop is so helpful, with old pals John Wall and Susie Schmidt! All in all as I said in my dive travel cd, if I had to choose one island to dive fir the rest of my life: it would be BONAIRE/BUDDY DIVE, hands down. NOTE: I am 64.My son got certified here when he was 10. For older divers and kids, the EASE of diving is unmatched in BONAIRE.I can say this after 41 trips over 33 years.
