Comments	This was our 21st visit to Bonaire and the Carib Inn, which should say it all! The Inn is always clean and well kept, with upgrading, painting,or tree trimming always in progress.Bruce has a well equipped dive shop, and can reapir almost anything. We don't usually rent a car- it is a short taxi drive to the Inn for $10. Downtown and the grocery stores are within walking distance, and , if we decide to dine farther way we use taxi #7- Farid & Suzie. This trip, we did shore dives in the morning,at sunrise. The parrots were just waking up, a tarpon cruised by everyday, and soon the water was full of fish; it was just glorious at that hour. The afternoons we dove with the boat- going North, South, or to Klein. The divemaster always asks where evryone wants to go, and is as accomidating as possible.Carib Inn has a very personable new divemaster, Brandon, who we enjoyed very much, along with the always personable Ralf. We liked it so much, that we will be back in Nov.
