Comments	Currenlty, there is a lot of chatter about poor local response to increasing crime. Although we didn't experience any problems, we took the usual precautions (nothing left in vehicle, windows rolled down, etc). We brought along a lock to lock the spare tire onto the car. We expressed concerns before we left to the car rental company (Budget), and their answer was, if you are that concerned, then don't come! Not exactly what one wants to hear when expressing concerns. Once that was behind us, the diving was great! We had some minor problems with Photo Tours (didn't want to take us to Town pier and their boat dives left a bit to be desired), but the owner made amends to us later. Mel and Louise at Happy Holiday Tours were excellent, and I highly recommend them to anyone travelling to Bonaire. They provide on site security at night, quality rooms, and now high speed internet access. Use them if you want to save lots of $$ and don't mind not being on the beach. If and when Bonaire starts working on solving their crime issues to make tourists feel a bit safer, I will go back again and again! Review up to the minute issues at bonairetalk.com
