Does anyone know if we need to book an ANTIGEN test before we get to BONAIRE?

No booking required.

Thanks Scott! Some online info says YOU HAVE TO DO IT...and some says you don't. The resort at my behest is ensuring they have a person at the airport to manage it. I did fill out the request and paid for it already... you SHOULD be able to do this in Bonaire.

 

Too much conflicting info... but alas they will get easier the longer they are open for business.

This logging in is killing me. LOL SO everyone should bring junk food? Why don't we get fed??

You do get fed - the PM was referring to any snacks you want.  For dinner that are not part of the package (see the PM) there are plenty of restaurants near and the on site restaurant is very good.

 

Thanks Butch...

 

Gary... no worries man...you will be fed breakfast and lunch every day and 2 group dinners. I sent a lengthy update yesterday with the info....sorry it was later than I would have liked.  As mentioned... the snacks are for Happy Hour OR if you require some special comfort food. They simply have very few options for snacks in Bonaire....they are usually OLD....near expiration and with covid probably non existent since they will not likely import a lot of snacks when Americans are not there.

 

As for logging in being a pain... are you doing it on your phone? If a computer it usually keeps you logged in.   If a phone our system is NOT optimized for mobile use. If you know any amazing programmers who also dive and don't mind working for free or nearly free... please ask them to contact us. WE NEED THEM!!! :respect:

Hey. Here is a new one. I went for PCR test yesterday to be in the 72 hr. range and I didn't get my results, so I called and now I'm being told it takes two days for results. My flight is early in the morning before results get back. So everyone have a nice time in Bonaire.

GLAD YOU GOT YOUR RESULTS BACK...yes calling and bugging them works. I had to do the same myself. :(

What I saw at the airport was a separate tent they were sending the people who needed antigen tests.  This was on the tarmac, before even entering the airport (yes , you deplane down stairs, just like from air-force one :)  Someone was asking for vaccination status and the health declaration forms and directing people to the proper area.  

 

You should have your declaration form, vaccination card and PCR results handy when you get off the plane.  It will be windy at the airport so don't let go of your forms ... 

 

All of this was before immigration.  I did see people showing their phones to the people checking,  I don't know how that went, because the line for vaccinated people with their forms and tests results printed went much faster.

I was curious - - now I know,
this trip to Bonaire will be my 35th dive adventure with Singledivers.com.



Due to a delayed flight departure (crew shortage), and mostly due to the limited flights that are already full, there’s no way I can get to Bonaire for this trip. American only has 2 flights a week to Bonaire, Delta & United are full until late August.

I sent Kamala a text to let her know. If she can help cancel my Covid test on Bonaire, someone else could have my appointment on Thursday. And some how I also have an appointment for Friday…..

Looking forward to the photos!!!

Great idea, but when AA checked, the connections to get me there wouldnt work. I even had AA check flights to Aruba, then local airlines or ferry schedules between islands. Even with multiple changes the earliest I could get there was Wednesday evening, and that is too many headaches to get there for less than a full week of diving. Oh well, this is why we have travel insurance

Susan we are so bummed you can not make it.. others on the flight did make it cuz they delayed the MIA flight almost 30 mins.

 

Thanks for the assist Scott!

 

In reply to the challenges of diving... Susan you are right... trip insurance is your friend!

 

The best diving places are often the hardest to get too...but one major exception to that rule is Cozumel!

its did not change anything if staying 1 week. Day 5 is the day you do your antigen test to go back to the US anyway. It only affects you if are staying longer than 7 days.
