Comments	Great viz , warm blue water . lots of small fish many schools of small fish . no large fish or sharks , lots of Tarpon on night dives . Only saw 2 turtles small ones at Salt Pier. No large fish some lion fish but not in abundance as you would expect with diving just coming back . Dive crew stated the Lion fish have gone deep . Food at resort was good but service at Island Speed slow and infrequent . Boat crews great but no camera table on boats, or camera tank or mask tank . Only water on board from cooler with paper cups All enjoyed dives but most of us were unable to travel in 2020 Had one day of solid rain and cloudy day after . So much rain that day and night our room leaked and had to put towels at doors and windows where wind pushed water in . Second trip of mine to Bonaire still good diving but would have rather gone to Cayman Islands but trips there canceled due to Covid
