Here is an e-mail from my friend concerning Bonaire:
"We stay at Buddy Dive Resort (
www.buddydive.com). It's a great place if you are a diver. The main reason we stay there is that they have a drive through air and nitrox fill station. We basically can just drive through with our rental truck, load up some tanks, and drive across the island to dive wherever we want. They also have a great reef right off the dock at the resort. The accommodations are nice, food is decent, and there's a nice restaurant right on the resort. I really like it there, but I'm also a low maintenance type of traveler and I don't need much. If you're looking for someone to serve you drinks and cater to your every need, this may not be the place to go.
