Comments The diving was great. This was the 4th trip my wife and I took to Bonaire, and the second in the past two years. Both times we stayed the the Plaza Resort. The rooms were big and comfortable. The food was great. The entire staff went out of their way to accommodate my family due to food allergy issues. These were dealt with with a problem. The staff at Tucan Dive were there if you needed them, but if you didn't, they left you alone. We dove 18 Palms reef, which is the "house reef" for the Plaza. At about 60 feet, we saw a group of 6-8 Tarpin on every dive.
