Comments	This was a family holiday trip with three kids ages 15 - 21. Stayed in a three bedroom, two bath apartment at the Belmar which worked quite well for this visit. Ate all breakfasts, most lunches and half of dinners in the apartment. Local groceries are quite acceptable, but selection and price are both factors. Buddy Dive is associated with Belmar and maintains the on-site dive operation. This was very satisfactory and dove the house reef several times. Also dove the house reef at Buddy Dive twice and found that it was also an excellent site. Bonaire's shore diving was everything advertised and we all had a "wee" of a time. None of us have enough experience to make any sweeping claims, but everyone enjoyed themselves and would be willing to return any time. About as good as it gets with this jaded group!

UW Photo Comments	As novice divers and underwater photographers Bonaire seems to be the best of all possible destinations. Total lack of current at the locations we dove combined with abundant subjects and excellent visibility made it possible to safely dive, take modestly good photos and generally have a wonderful time. We'll go back.
