Comments	[None]the coral along the leeward side of bonaire is deversified and beautiful.it does not take a lot of depth to see the fantastic coral that bonaire has to offer.we usually seen the best coral in the 30 to 45 ft range.this is dry arid country with little rainfall providing great vis most all year long.the fish are of all colors in the rainbow spectrum.i was surprised to find great diving right off the resort dock.world famous town pier night diving is only about a mile from the resort.due to some security precautions this dive may not be available at all times.you should check with your dive operator as soon as you get to bonaire in order to get on a limited list of dive trips to this area. now the bad,the theft problem in bonaire is horrific and needs to be addressed by the netherlands seriously.we had our radio stolen out of our dive truck at karpata dive site on the north west coast.we were shore diving at the site and only gone about 1 hour.needless to say we had to pay 210.00 for the radio before we could leave bonaire.after this event we heard of nightmare tales of theft all over the island involving tourist on vacation.be warned ,the locals will steal from your vehichles.you may hear some advice from dive opreators to not lock your doors and leave windows partially down so that the theives want break the windows out.thanks a lots, huh.it seems like a slap to be told we need to accomodate this den of thieves that are running rampant on bonaire.i filed a police report,but it took 2 hours after arriving at the police station.yes it seems they have no interest in doing anything about this problem in bonaire.some of the tourist i talked to said even though the thefts are daily none of it gets in the local paper. hmmmm i wonder why. i wish i had known about the serious theft problem ,bonaire has before i left home.even though bonaire has some great diving i probally will not return to a place where the local authorities dont seem to give a damn about whats happening to the divers and bonaires source of revenue.
