They claim 90F at mid day. The overhead sun makes it hotter. Dry and windy. Diving is in the lee of Bonaire. Rainy season is one or two days in April. No Gonzo diving. Just not much to see below 80-90ft. No gloves allowed. Most operations do a 1 hr morning dive and a 1 hr afternoon dive. Bruce Bowker allows longer dives.

Almost all dives are from fixed moorings, no anchors allowed, unless the wind dies, and then one can go to the east side of the island. I have been there for about 50-60 days of diving, and never had an East side dive.

Shore night diving is a big deal, an is quite good almost everywhere. Town Pier is a famous nite dive, but may requre permission, or a permit, or a guide (try Dee Scar if she is still around)
