Absolutely. We will do Chez Neal/ Chez SD as we always do!!! 

 

LOCATION: The Wench's room and 1-2 rooms near the dive shop!

WHEN: When diving is over ...come join us for Happy Hour drinks and snacks (concludes when its time for dinner)

HOW: Get a bottle at duty free and bring some munchie snacks from home (nuts, pretzels etc) AND get a mixer at the local grocery store.  If you want beer you can buy it locally at the corner grocery store a block from the hotel called Sunshine Grocery

OTHER: We will ask a few volunteers to get cups for us and load up on ice from the ice machine etc. (We may need a few extra mixers depending on what people bring.

AFTER: After our HH each night we will store the beverages in the host studio room that also has a kitchen in it as well as snacks and pull them out each day when the HH starts. NOTE: Please feel free to take your 'bottle' back to your room with you if you  wish and/or leave it until the next day for the HH (Happy Hour)

 

Are there any plans for a Happy Hour Venue? I will gladly bring my allotted share of spirts(1l).

OK I have all the forms geez.  The only glitch is the Divi site won't let me pay marine fee.  It gives an error after I click the first info page.

 

I had to go here to pay, then show them the receipt/qr-code in the dive shop:

(Its a new process)

There is some cool dive site info on the STINAPA website as well

Will there be tours available on Our DRY DAY (Friday)?

Some tourist websites indicate tours are available on Bonaire, but your local contacts should be able to give us the best advice.

An island tour that includes the Donkey Sanctuary would be my top choice.

No problem if Covid has canceled local tours.

Kamala, I need to have a dive master do my Nitrox in-person portion of the certification.  Can I set that up with the dive masters once I meet them?  (PADI did not accept the on-line nitrox course I took for the last trip.). I've already done the book work and passed the final exam.

There is not a lot to do. Friday is not a full dry day NOW... with covid we can't get to the resort in time to do our check out dive on Saturday we actually do 2 dives in the am because the FIRST pkg dive is Sunday afternoon since the orientation dives are Sunday am. Sometimes we can all arrive in time on Saturday to do it then but usually not. Since all flights arrive by 2pm we had a chance... but with add'l covid testing now at the airport for people not fully vaxed and/or not vaxed...it will take longer to get everyone to the resort.

 

That being said... the anticipated plan is NOW to dive two dives in the am Friday which eats up most of your day.  If you choose not to dive on Friday and/or want to do something in the afternoon here are some options.

 

NOTE: We are not sure if our testing is Thursday or Friday. We have a 3rd dive on Thursday so need to work around that as well.

 

TOUR OPTIONS:

  • See the flamingos in the park (a fairly long drive but fun)
  • See the donkey sanctuary (its a rescue place but quite interesting)
  • Meet with the "kids" that come to see us each year from our disabled program we support. THIS IS A TEAR JERKER FOR MOST EVERYONE ...but worth it.
