Comments	This is a first class dive operation. They make shore diving very easy. They have a drive through tank drop off and pick up area with nitrox available as well. Staff is very friendly and try to learn everyone's name. Dive briefings are professional and complete and can be entertaining if you are lucky enough to have the right instructor/divemaster. Divers can pick the dive sites and they will do everything to make sure that happens if conditions allow. They allow you to dive as a group or with your buddy as longe as you all go the same way. Because of the reef structure on Bonaire, it is not hard to find your way back to the boat. The resort is nice. Our room was clean and well maintained. Food at the Lions Den and the pool bar is very good. There was some confusion when we to check it. They didn't have my reservation, but made things work. There was also some confusion with my dive package as well, but the manager made it right. I would return if the opportunity offers.
