Comments	This trip was with SingleDivers.com; there were about 32 of us in two dedicated boats. All morning trips were 2 tank and there was a one tank in the afternoon. Unlimited shore. No one did the truck and dive option as it really wasn't necessary. Some did 4+ dives a day as the reef offered plenty of opportunities, especially at night. Facilities were right there after getting off the boat so gear schlepping was a minimum. Bonaire seems to be slipping a bit. Though the visibility was good, there seemed to always be particulate in the water column, creating lots of scatter day and night. Local chatter has serious concerns of the increased runoff from overgrazed land by goats and donkeys. Some sites were spectacularly abundant with fish and others seemed they were all on vacation. Our package included excellent buffet breakfast and lunch; dinner on own. Town is a quick walk with awesome restaurants. SingleDivers.com is for divers who don't want to dive alone but whose partner doesn't dive. Great group of mostly experienced divers so plenty of opportunity to buddy up accordingly.
