Another REAL cool tool for Divers going to Bonaire

Like it or not, you have to pay your marine park fee. (unless you are on a Cruise ship then screw the island). A much improved and efficent way starts on line purchase and verification

Rental Car Companies

Read the fine print on your rental agreement. At least one of the companies, Avis, now will charge you extra if the interior of your vehicle isn't cleaned before you turned it in

Crime

A new attempt to get my point across: 1. Dont bring anything th Bonaire you dont want to lose 2. Don't lock your rental car... batteries are cheaper then window 3. Your car will be gone through 4. Outside of resorts there is no real security. 4. Don't park illegally downtown. The police can't find time to stop break in but they can ticket and tow

Its a public Beach!

Some of the published dive guides state that divers have the right to enter ANYWHERE. This is not really true. Yo can enter anywhere in on PUBLIC land like along the Boulevard down town and along the "tourist road" Sites in developed area like Andrea 1 and 2 are limited to day light hours essentially 7-7. Entries in front of resorts are private and can involve a fee if you use facilities or be closed completely if resort is busy. South of town,the area is all owned by Cargill Salt and subject to closure if abuse (leaving trash, driving in the sand) continues. Salt Pier ,while reopened, is being so trashed by divers that they are thinking of closing it off. Courteous divers get more dives
