We stayed at the Sand Dollar and thus did several dives at Bari, including a 6 AM dawn dive. Each one was unique in its own way. Saw several spotted eels and some great fish! Plus the entry off the dock is super-easy and no swim compared to other Bonaire sites. More

The staff at Bonaire Dive and Adventure were friendly and knowledgeable. Make sure you dive Front Porch. The coral and sponges were not spectacular, but there were a lot of interesting creatures. More
