It seems strange calling anything the size of a small bus "precious", but that baby certainly was!

👍🏾

Thanks for the great video. Visiting Bonaire later this year. Do many of the shops and restaurants take US debit and credit cards?

I'm 78 and been coming there since 2005. Sneak in down at the secret entrance to Small Wall..very slipppery. I think I will buy one, fold it, and somehow attach to belt. Your videos are so great! Also asked Al if he will let us use the Black Durgon entry..Bonaire has been discovered. I remember there were only 14,000 residents when we first bought property there..thanks very much for telling people to protect the beautiful sea and island..

If you are just snorkeling where can you carry the stick??

Waiting for the diving review!

hi! Long time subscriber :) Kind of a niche question but I was wondering what you recommend for dive insurance? Totally new certified diver here and wondering what i should do. Thanks!

Awesome tips! Thanks!!!

The subway to China, can you imagine! Thanks for the post, enjoyed the video and your humour!

We’ve tried to find the Spelonk Lighthouse several times. How do we get there??

... and I am watching you video "right now" 😂

Great video to help out the mrs. who doesn't dive. Any recommendations for tour guides for the two of us who do dive? Also, locations that aren't deeper than 50 feet or so? We're there all day on a cruise stop and would really like to do two dives, could be boat or shore. Thanks!

can we pay them at the airport?

Love your videos and have found them all helpful. However, you might want to review your recommendation of Maikey Snack. We made the trek there last week but the fish and french fries were not good. My goat stew was tender and flavorful, but very little meat and mostly bone. And it was not what we consider cheap....$15 each + $3 for a warm bottle of coke with a small glass of ice. And to top it off, someone siphoned the gas out of our truck while we were there, making us cut our afternoon short and having to drive back to town to get gas. Yes, we are 100% sure it happened there. Started with nearly 1/2 tank and it was the first and only stop we made and came out to an empty tank and gas light on. We thought we were going to run out of gas and have to ride one of the donkeys by the side of the road back to town at one point. 🤨 You were spot on with the recommendation of pastechis at the airport restaurant. For $3 each they were a delicious lunch. You can also find them in the mid-morning/early afternoon at the Chinese grocery store down by Captain Don's. We also ate at Great Dragon, which is an unmarked Chinese restaurant (grey/black building with Chinese lanterns hanging out front and seating area with large sun umbrellas) that we found to have great food for a reasonable price. (~$16 per entree. We had enough leftovers for a second meal.) Thank you for making these videos.

Also not my favorite site due to the artificial nature and the "junk". However, I have seen some super cool sea life, so we keep going back. I highly recommend entering farther to the North. There is a more sandy area that direction that is a lot easier. Thanks for the info!

Very helpful

Bone-Aire, not BaunAir

Living on Bonaire for 24 years. I've traveled a lot and I've never been anywhere that didn't have a problem with tourist theft. After all, you won't be here for the trial, right? Bonaire is generally very safe. I'm never afraid to go anywhere, any time of day, all by my lonesome. The roads have improved greatly in the past year. Yes, the scooters and golf carts are annoying but I can't imagine how fast we would drive if we didn't have them to slow us down. They could be saving us from more high speed accidents. 😅

Very helpful, brief and to-the-point. I'm sharing this with anyone I know going to Bonaire!

Your longest topic was the whole scooters thing. I have a feeling it’s your own personal issue. You just don’t like all the tourists on scooters. I’m arriving in June and already have a scooter booked. Can’t wait

very useful information. Thanks!

Thank you!

Sharks???????

Love your video. I am on my 2nd trip there. I rent scooters there, so fun. I scuba there too. Love it.

#1 should be don't leave ANYTHING in your vehicle you don't want stolen when swimming/diving. You will see trucks with blacked out windows in the parking lots at dive sites, just waiting for you to get into the water so they can ransack your vehicle. Leave the windows down or they will break the window. Buy a cheap pair of sunglasses when diving at sites, they will not steal them. Big miss for this video, I've been to Bonaire many times, this is the most important DON'T DO.

Don't pronouce it like you Americans do. It's not Bone-air. It's Bonair-e. And the "e" at the end is not like in "Nike" but like in "ehh". And .... don't be so loud. Just a few advices from me, a Dutchman who lived on Bonaire for years.

King Kong Burgers are the best on the island hands down or hands up give me a burger!

Never heard anyone on the island say Bonaire like that. You’re American. Don’t say it like that you sound ridiculous

👍👍

Good vid, certainly some good points. Just back from Bonaire, another great trip. I agree about scooters and especially golf carts. The carts are especially slow and really clog things up, which is frustrating. One other "don't" we'd recommend is don't forget to keep an eye on the cruise ship schedule. The larger cruise ships really make a mess of things on such a small island, and the most popular shore diving spots can be overcrowded, while the roads are bogged down with tour busses and golf carts. We generally try to plan around their arrival, focusing on the less popular spots and routes. And if you find yourself near Rincon, check out John's Ice Cream! Great little spot for a homemade treat.

cool place. Thanks for the info.

I m Bonaire 🇧🇶

Looks like a very nice place to stay in Bonaire, but probably way above my pocket limit 😂

I am Canadian and looking to visit there. I’ve only ever heard the mispronounced way of saying it, thanks you so much for the information! I feel bad not knowing.

According to Stinapa, it is NOT ALLOWED to dive with walking sticks. Ask Stinapa Bonaire directly, and they will tell you about the registrations on the island.

This place looks amazing. When I went to look at availability dates, everything is marked out as far as the calendar will take you and Google says it's permanently closed. 😢😢😢

Looks like a really nice place to stay while in Bonaire!

How long does it take to drive the island end to end on the main road?

Cactus Blue is our favorite. The Lion Fish burger is next level.

boobs alert

good video, thanks. also got a chuckle out of all the times you say bonn aire. ha ha glad you taught me the right way still

My husband and I will take our first trip to Bonaire in a few weeks. Your videos have helped us immensely to prepare for and understand shore diving in Bonaire. Thanks so much!

What’s about drones? Im hearing you can fly( designated areas only) and that you can’t fly at all. There’s a lot of drone footage of Bonaire on RUclips. Bonaire website says you can just conflicting info out there

Thanks for the video! Any recommendations to any dive shops that will rent scuba gear to you

Excellent video! Thank you. One other don't I'd add is this: If you are sensitive to noise then be careful where you stay. Some streets in Kralendijk are so noisy that it can easily take a lot of the relaxation and enjoyment that you came to get here. I am specifically referring to people who constantly and deliberately rev their engines. This is a huge nuisance from which everyone suffers. I wonder why the police don't take action here, or if they do, then only half-heartedly.

Where do you leave your car keys when going to dive?

Save on your flight ticket - protect the environment. It's also nice at home.

Last time I was in Bonaire was the early 2000s so this may ybe a bit dated. Bonaire did have some nice beaches, but about 1998 there was a bad hurricane that hit the island and washed the sand away. 'Pink Beach' was famous before then. It also took out the shallow coral, above about 30 feet. But I hear that the coral has come back. Staghorn and Elkhorn coral grows rather fast. Also firearms and amunition are very illegal. One diver used his hunting bag as a dive bag, customs found one round of rifle ammo he missed when packing. They almost locked him up over it. While there are no 'nude beaches' Europeans are not as prudish as Americans so a not so quick 'flash' when changing out of dive gear/swimsuits is possible. It may have changed but don't bring your dive gloves. At one time they were not permitted so you don't touch, or grab, the coral. Unless it has changed the electircty on the island,, while 120 volts is 50 hz not the 60hz of the US so things work but different. A US electric clock for example will loose time as it is running slower. Monitor chargers incase they heat up. But that was twenty years ago maybe the world have moved on. If you plan to dive a lot don't forget a light wetsuit. While the water is warm over time your body may have a hard time keeping warm later in the week and may feel chilled.
