Bonaire December 2012
This is one of the best dive islands we have been to. It may seem odd but the best dives we had were right off the dock at Divi Flamingo. It wasn't that the coral was that exotic or the fish that abundant but there was quite a variety. From poking around in shallows to over 60'. There was even a small wreck. Turtles, rays, tarpon, lionfish, octopus, and a hoard of other smaller fish. All this within 300' of home base. Muck diving was great right under the dock.
And the dock made it real nice. Individual dive lockers under a roof made the whole process simple. Grab a tank, don your gear, and dive. It was diving completely on our own schedule. No rush. No wait. Just dive.
Of course the crew at Divi Dive there was wonderful.
As for fin testing. We had a week of open water work with only 2 pair of fins. and they performed flawlessly. On the boat dives, where most divers hit the 500 psi mark, it was rare for me to surface with less than 1000 psi. I was usually first in and always last out.
