Comments Twenty years of diving Bonaire. As always, the Carib Iin does not disappoint even with the loss of Bruce. From the dive op, to the accommodations etc. the staff is always great. Even got my Reg cleaned up after 700 dives, for a very reasonable price.

The ocean though is sad, less fish. And the reed is in trouble, with the new infection that they are working hard to keep in check.

One last thing, there is more construction, and cruise boats. The island has changed. We will return but not with as much enthusiasm.

The ocean was a consistent 86 degrees. And a skin or 2 or 3 mm would be more than enough, and I am usually cold.
