Comments We went diving with another couple. Stayed in one of their 3-bedroom houses right on the water. Perfect, especially with one non-diver. And about the same price as two rooms. The resort arranged for Covid testing at the resort prior to our departure to make getting home easy.

Very affordable package of 10-boat dives and unlimited shore. Nitrox included in the boat dives. It was extra for the shore tanks. Usually did two boat dives and then a shore dive on house reef. House reef is in great shape. Boats were not that crowded. Divemasters were generally good, but didn't point out many things.

We had a new diver and the ease of diving in Bonaire was great. On the boat dives the Divemasters understood he would run out of air a bit earlier that the others, but we just returned to the boat on our own. Used the dives on the house reef for the new give to work on his buoyancy.

Restaurant at the resort is better, but there are lots of way better meals to be had with a short drive.
