Comments	10th time in Bonaire. About 6 at divi. We chose it due to easy dock diving and closeness to restaurants. As always the diving was easy and great. Lots of small macro critters. Same (or worse) issues with tank o rings, a bunch of leaky valves, but no air leaks around value threads this year. Generally had about a 50% reject rate on tanks, but never any shortage. They got a shipment of 12 new tanks in while we were there. Morning boat is 45 minute dive, 30 minute surface interval, 45 minute dive. We skipped and dock dived. Afternoon boat was 60 dive. Most were on Klein Bonaire. Food at divi was ho hum. We did breakfast buffet, made sandwiches for lunch and then walked into town for supper after our dusk dive. The sun did not set until 6:30 ish so our night dives had to start a little early. At Sea is awesome. Capriccio is great.

UW Photo Comments	Boats had small fresh water bucket large enough for 1 DSLR rig only. They warned divers not to use it as a rinse bucket. Multiple very large camera buckets on dock. Lots of shelf space on boats for camera storage.

What dates were you there that the water was 77 degrees? 45 min boat dives? How deep were you diving? How much air did you have left in your tank at 45 min?
