Last time we were in Bonaire was in 2005.
We went on a snorkel trip over to Klein with a guy who called himself Capt. Mike. We found his display board down by the coffee hut at the end of the pier downtown. We had a great time with him that day and are wondering if he is still doing snorkel trips as we are planning on returning sometime this year.
Any help would be appreciated.

He is a very interesting character. We always use him to go over to Klein. His information is posted at the end of the pier at Karel’s Beach Bar. Across the street from Karel's at Zeezicht Restaurant they will call him for you.

Yes, he's very interesting. He got us over to Klein on our first trip and left his outboard motor on almost all the way through the shallows, stirring lots of sand that landed on the coral - the water was still "clouded" half an hour later. He also hit the coral twice with the boat. The same thing happened on the way out, so I guess it's his normal business practice. Very interesting guy...

Thanks all for the info.
No voice left: Sorry that you had that happen to you. We had a great time with Mike the last time and we even helped him clean up the beach as we walked on Klein so I know he is concerned about the environment. Maybe he was just having "one of those days".
