Comments	This was our 9th trip to Bonaire, all at Divi Flamingo. Our dive shop, Wateree Dive Center in Columbia, SC, made the trip with about 30 total divers, using 2 boats daily. The water temp was about 80 degrees and the weather was hot and dry. The flight from Atlanta is direct and fortunately we did not have to go through Jamaica. The rooms are adequate and clean and the grounds at Divi are well maintained. We had breakfast every morning at the hotel restaurant and left for the first dive about 8:15 every morning and did two dives, returned for lunch and left again about 2 pm for a 3rd dive of the day. Night dives are the easiest in the Caribbean. Tarpon kept "buzzing" us during the dive and the dive was really nice. This is a good site to learn to do night dives, and is really just the house (Calabas) reef. We went downtown about every night to eat and the variety of restaurants is really good. The corals looked pretty healthy and we saw only 2 small lionfish, and they are trying to be proactive in removing them when found. Fish life was good, but few large fish. Still, it's overall quite good. We'll return to Bonaire again. It's like an old comfortable chair. It feels good, and you always look forward to getting back to relax in a great environment. I really like Bonaire and we will return again. All in all, the group really looks forward to return trips to this great diving destination
