Comments	This is a comfortable resort with a good dive shop and staff. Only one boat dive we had an overloaded boat, 19 divers. Rest of the time they took two or more boats out with about 6-10 divers each. A daily blackboard lets you sign up for which boat and location you want to dive. This is a good program. They kept beginners off the boat and keep dive groups together on one boat. Nitrox is available at an extra charge. You are responsible for your own gear loading, unloading and washing. They have a good gear shack on the dock to keep everything in so at least you don't have to carry it back to your room. Food is good at the resort and lots of great restaurants in town just a short walk away. Great shore diving right off the dock and all around the island. Rented a car just one day to do some exploring as we hadn't been here in 10 years. Lots of new development, but still a small, quaint island with a slow pace, just what you want when on a dive vacation. Bonaire is a good choice for all levels of dive experience. We were disappointed that there weren't more fish. Some evidence of hurricane damage still exists, especially on the outside of Kline Bonaire. Overall, reefs in pretty good shape.

UW Photo Comments	Separate rinse tank on the dock for regulators and cameras. People seemed to respect that. No camera table or place to put camera gear on the dock when washing out gear or in the dive shop. One boat had a camera table on it, but most of the week we dove off the other boat, so had to just sit the camera in a beach towel at the front of the cabin.
