Vicki, having been to FP but not Bonaire (lots of other Carib. Islands), my humble opinion is it'll be great, different but great. Bonaire has a great reef system with lots of soft coral and juveniles where Tahiti has a rougher reef (more surf), less soft coral but bigger fish. The other big advantage to Bonaire is the reef is right next to the shore vs. out on the Motus. Many more opportunities to snorkle different reefs, basically anytime you feel like it.

Vicky...You can walk out right from the beaches....there are rays, turtles, sharks (if you are in the right places) dolphins, morays,octopus's,,,,and Very nice size tarpon.....It is the ease of getting into the shore dive that is the draw...to me anyway...hope you get to visit.....

Vicky and S. Douglas, look at the Beach Cam pictures posted on the Webcams threads, that should tell you about the surface water conditions. The biggest rock on the North cam is about 1 - 1 1/2 feet high out of the water, so that should give you an idea of what the normal 'surf' is. The wake from a boat is usually responsible for the 'big surf'.
