Hey gang....if you joined us on the Bonaire trip... please let us know your feedback on the trip. What did you love? Anything we can improve? And should be continue to offer Bonaire on the trip rotation cycle?

 

Thank you, Kamalita

I enjoyed both trips.
I like the 3 boat dives a day and the unlimited shore dives in Bonaire.
The 2 dive guides were awesome, I knew Carlos and Marlo from years of diving in Bonaire. Lars was new to me but he was awesome.
Enjoyed the 70-80 minute dives they allowed us to do.
Ive never stayed at Habitat before and I think it is perfect for this club vs the apartments I normally get on Bonaire.
Ive eaten at Rum Runners for dinner in the past but never breakfast or lunch which both were nice.
Really liked having Lunch included, and choosing what I wanted ahead of time., it helped us get to the afternoon dive boat without having to stress and slamming down our meal.

I loved the double week trip to BON & CUR
And Id do it again in a heartbeat.


Thanks

I'd never been to Bonaire and was excited for this trip. It checked all the boxes for me. Thank you for organizing it, I really enjoyed it. It was also great meeting the group. Everyone was really nice and welcoming. I didn't notice any clique-like behavior, so that was really refreshing. I truly appreciated the included Nitrox option. I have been certified for years but never dove with Nitrox before because I just didn't want to pay the extra fee for it. It made a huge difference for me. My body usually gets really achy by the 3rd day and I barely felt any of that tension this time around. I also enjoyed the multiple dives per day option, as well as the ability to dive from shore. Although diving with an army of 20 people took some getting used to for me. I have been spoiled, diving in groups of no more than 6-8 people until now. But I found my groove over the days. I would totally go to Bonaire again, if it was offered. I am also already looking forward to a next trip with Single Divers. Hopefully Fiji next year around Thanksgiving!!! Thank you everyone who organized this trip and made sure everything ran smoothly while we were there.

I enjoyed the trip to Bonaire and with Single Divers.  It was my first trip with the group, and everyone was very nice and welcoming.  I like the freedom of being able to do either boat and/or shore dives anytime you want.  The shore diving access was very easy and convenient.   I did find the boat dives a little crowded in the water with 20 people and one guide, but I usually would just hang back and follow along. I retired from shooting with my big underwater camera (time to sell it!), and this was the first trip with no camera or photo agenda for myself except the GoPro I just got so it made the dives much more enjoyable! It was my first time staying at Captain Don's and everything was great (I have not been to Bonaire in about 15 years).   I really liked having so much included - meals & nitrox made it so easy as most everything was prepaid for.  I wish I could have done the Curacao trip as well but could not be out of work that long.   Hopefully in the future.   I look forward to future trips with Single Divers.   You do an excellent job thinking of everything and putting it all together with a great group of people. I know it is a lot of work - thank you.

I enjoyed the trip to Bonaire but the Internet connection was horrible.  It made it hard to do any SD related stuff while there.
