Hi guys, I had gone to Bonaire many times in the 90s but have not been in 10 years. now have 2 little girls that I wanted to take snorkeling as I remember you could see amazing stuff in 3 feet of water. Dont know if that is still the case and whether its worth going now post the Omar hurricane.

We were there Dec. 12-19th. Found a sea horse and an octopus with the help of Renee! On our own we saw squid, many parrot fish, turtles, eels, etc. The coral is dead but the sea life is still in abundance, thank goodness.

Shallows have been damaged. Snorkeling is not the same as in the 1990s, but there are still great places to view sealife in the shallows. Get "Bonaire Shore Diving Made Easy" and you will be able to discern where the shallows are still lush. The fish (and the octopus!) like the rubble, even if it isn't pretty to the eye.

The "southern sites" were not as impacted as the "northern sites" Oil Slick - well it's just sad!
