Comments The Divi Flamingo runs a good dive operation for experienced divers. Due to recent surgery we needed boat diving instead of shore (which is what Bonaire is known for) and they accommodated us well. However, they had 1 leader for up to 12 divers, and they infrequently checked pressures. We have been diving for more than 9 years so this was not a problem for us.

The reef was browned out with fan coral in tatters. The fish were still quite colorful. They actively hunt lionfish so we saw very few of them, and most of these were small.
