Been to bonaire, cayman, and the swamps of indiana...ignoring the
latter for the moment, i much prefer cayman.  bonaire has little to
offer besides diving, and although there are beautiful reefs, very
well preserved, the fish seemed small.  the land is virtually a
desert, and is ok if you like cactus and lizards.  also, although
shore diving is very possible, most boat owners encourage boat
diving.  turns out thats how most of the diving is done.

cayman, has much more to offer above land.  underwater, the coral is
not as well preserved, but the fish are much larger.  lots more to
do, more civilized, in all, i would go back to cayman much quicker
than to bonaire.

also, in bonaire, if you have not been under in six months, or so,
the want you to take a "check out" dive before going on a boat, even
if you have a valid c card.  easily defeated by saying you have just
returned from the quarries of indiana, but a strange rule indeed.

more info, if anyone cares...let me know
