We really had a great time the last two weeks drift snorkeling Bonaire. We used Bonaire Shore Diving Made Easy (BSDME) to help get some info on additional entry points from what we had used before, and did a little scouting of entry and exit points to make sure we knew where to get out - that was fun too :-).

May be a silly question: How do I get back, when my car is parked near La Dania? Walk? For how long?

Yes walk. It is about 400M from Karpata to the LaDania's "trailhead" on the road. We parked at the first paved parking spot North of the LaDania's trailhead, which is in-between.

When we dove LaDania's last week, there were three of us, initially parked at LaDania, took all our dive gear to LaDania's and left two people in our group with the gear and then one of us took the truck and parked it at Karparta and walked back to LaDania. It is about an 8 minute walk back to LaDania's. After we dove LaDania to Karparta, we had the truck waiting for us at Karparta. After we got our gear off, we enjoyed a couple hot dogs at the snack stand before we started back home. Very nice drift dive, always a must do when on island for us. The hot dogs at the snack stand are naf. 4.50 or US 3.00. And, yes, they take wet money.

We eyeballed that too. About the only thing we could figure was getting in at Ol' Blue and out at Karpata. We odometered it and if I remember correctly it was 1.7K. That is just too far for us for it to be fun

hey there, we just got back from BON yesterday. Avid snorkelers and another couple we bumped into said for the past 4 years this was the windiest and cloudiest they had seen. We bought full length wetsuits after 5 days in the 78 to 80 degree water, but it was still gorgeous. Stayed in 6 hours our last day -- did Karpata, Ol Blu, Andrea 1 & 2,. Fish there sure are different than Turks & Caicos & Cayman. But ooooh the coral was awesome, especially at Karpata and over at Klein.
