Comments	I can say that I have dove over a dozen different islands in the Caribbean and if you could only choose one island to dive, Bonaire would be the place. I can’t say enough about how healthy the reefs and marine life were. Top that off with the warm water and great visibility, what more can you ask for? We stayed at Captain Don’s Habitat in one to the two bedroom cottages we shared with another couple. With the large patio, we had plenty of room and never felt we were on top of each other. Diving couldn’t be any easier. Just pick up a full tank, 24 hours a day, and either dive the reef in front of the resort or if you are smart and rented a truck, head north or south to the many dive sites there. We found during our stay, that it appeared the south sites seem to have more fish life, while the north sites seem to have healthier corals and sponges. We did do some boat dives with Captain Don’s and I enjoyed the way they run their boat. You had the choice of diving with your buddy, or hanging out with the divemaster. As a scuba instructor myself, I like that freedom. I appreciate them allowing me to be responsible for my dive profile. All the staff members were very professional and showed a lot of concern for everyone’s safety.
