Dive Bonaire with Rand and Reef Photo!

I just wanted to start a roll call thread, the details of this trip are posted in the trip finder as well-

The Resort:  Buddy Dive Bonaire
When:  June 3-10, 2006
The Deal:  $985 pp, 2 people in a 1 bedroom condo
Includes:
  • 8 days - 7 nights in a fully equipped apartment
  • 7 days rental vehicle (double cabin pick-up truck or van)
  • 6 days of unlimited air fills plus 6 boat dives
  • American style breakfast buffet daily
  • Welcome Drink
  • Manager's Rum Punch Party
  • Airport transfers
  • All Government Taxes
  • Free Unlimited Nitrox!
  • 50% off Meals at Buddy Dive's Restaurant (up to $75)


We will offer evening sharing & critiquing sessions, much like what happens on the show off board.  This gives you an opportunity to get feedback from your peers, and technical advice.  Bonaire's shore diving is perfect for serious diving and photography, allowing you to move slowly and really concentrate on finding critters.  Demo Equipment will be available if reserved in advance.

I have worked out a pretty complete list of airline schedules.  There are a lot of options, and many of them don't go through San Juan.  I'll post the list here in a couple of days to assist people in making their travel plans.

$500 holds your spot, and I don't own a pencil...  If interested, act quickly, as we plan to keep this group small.

your welcome Ryan, I work best from 6am-noon.  Then my brain wants to take a nap! 

Ron and I would LOVE to go but..... wish you had this trip for different dates. It looks like we will be in Fiji from June 8-17th.  But the good news is that I will most likely be shooting video for that trip!!

I'm really exicited about this trip. I've been wanting to get to Bonaire after all the great reports I've seen from the area there.
After spending time in T&C with unlimited diving, the benefit of max bottom time became readily apparent. I plan on spending quite a bit of time with my Teleconverter and Woody's diopter. Mastering these lenses takes time, bottom time!!!

The idea of grabbing a tank 24-7 is too cool. Plus grabbing a truck for all the shore diving Plus, it's out of the "Hu@r*cal34n" belt...

Well we have just booked my first trip to Bonaire, over Easter (April 11-24). I'm the only diver, though, my wife & kids are just hoping that the beaches aren't too bad. I could be interested in a buddy for a few dives. Diving with Jesus is refreshing (he's always with us, even when no-one else is, right?), but sometimes it is nice to have a buddy with an air tank in the water, too.

We don't know where we are staying yet. Tips welcome, need a kid-friendly beach within walking distance for a 3yr old and 5 yr old.

Cheers!
