I just returned from bonaire and had an awesome trip!

The folks at Buddy dive are exceptional and the dive masters are top notch, extremely friendly and go out of their way to make sure the guests have a great trip.

Thanks to divemasters Patrick and Alex for some great diving. I asked to see Frogfish and Seahorses - I got pictures of them both on the same dive!!!

I highly recommend Buddy Dive for a Bonaire vacation.

Make sure you get an unlimited shore diving package with at least 6 boat dived included. You will want to do the boat dives on Klein bonaire.

Book your trip through Carradonna Carribean Tours They have really inexpensive trip packages

Places to eat on bonaire:

1. The green parrot restaruant at the sand dollar resort is excellent for lunch and dinner. This very close to Buddy dive and you can walk there in 5 minutes or less. Sit on the waters edge and watch hundreds of fish swarm while you eat, including a few 4-5 foot long tarpon *Dont miss the all you can eat barbeque on saturday night

2. The Olde Inn - across from the Plaza Resort You will not be able to eat all the food you get with every meal. The food is really great They are closed on Wednesday

3. Restaraunt at buddy dive Lunch was great, i did not eat dinner here Their dinner specials at the waterfront bar are good.

** Put on insect repellant before going out at night as the mosquitos are bad right now **

** do not do the night town pier dive unless there are less than 10 divers in with you (including all dive shops) the water gets very murky in a matter of minutes otherwise**

** if you go to shoredive in washington park make sure you take LOTS OF WATER, snacks and a sandwich. There is nowhere to eat or drink up there. Start in the park no later than 8:30 am as the park is a one way road and you will want to get 2 dives in up there. If you start too late you will get locked in the park as it closes at 5pm**

Thats all for now - Thanks Buddy Dive and Caradonna
