Scuba Diving in Bonaire - January 2022

For the seventh or eighth time, we went scuba diving in Bonaire. It's kind of our go-to getaway. Not much to do other than scuba and relax. We don't bring an underwater camera anymore as we would prefer to live the moment rather than record it. As such, you will have to just enjoy the standard Caribbean photos of blue water and stunning sunsets. 

We stayed in a 1-bedroom oceanfront condo (Den Laman apartments) which has a dock and a dive locker. You can see the dock on the right in the photo below. Generally, we do a few dives from the local dock but mostly dive via pickup truck along the shoreline of Bonaire. Night dives are easiest from the dock because docks are easy to find in the dark at the end of the dive.

Bonaire is becoming a big kite surfing destination. You can see all of the wings in the photo. A few years ago, this particular beach had one or two kite surfers. Now, there is a whole community. Looks like fun, but where else would I do this? I don't want to spend a week learning a skill that I can only use on rare occasion.
