Comments	We always have a great time in Bonaire. Were a little worried about the damage by recent hurricanes. The preliminary reports from there were good (actually not so accurate don't scare the paying customers away) The visibility was not so hot this trip as low as 30 feet on some sights. The storm mucked up the waters pretty well. Didn't see much damage except down South in the Red Slave area. The soft corals were torn up and a little bit of the reef was wasted. At most dive sights there was lots of silt between the corals and sponges. We still managed to do 39 dives in 10 days and saw several Frogfish (even found one w/o a Divemaster's help <grin>) a lot of Juvy Trunkfish, several Turtles, Several Rays, 2 Sea Horses, Batwing Crabs, Eels galore, and almost anything you can expect in Bonaire. Great food at Rum Runners, Mona Lisa, It Rains Fishes, Casablanca, and Lion's Dive. Do rent a truck. There are too many dive sights and not enough time.
