Diving and Snorkeling Guide to Bonaire (Lonely Planet Diving & Snorkeling Great Barrier Reef)

40 dive sites around Bonaire, Netherlands Antilles. Dive Highlights: Best Caribbean shore dives, Klein Bonaire, Washington Slagbaii National Park dives.

Otherwise I have found this series to be excellent.

The book gives a good overview of some of the more popular dive sites listing type of entry, depth & current information. It also rates the dives as Novice, Intermediate, or Advanced. The photography is good as are the dive descriptions. However, the book is dated and the map of the dive sites is not numbered correctly and doesn't list the names of many of the sites on the southwest beaches. Also, two of the most popular dive sites, the Town Pier & Salt Pier now have some restrictions on them that are not listed in this book. Overall, I think it's a good general overview of the sites and attractions of Bonaire.


Very good introductory book for diving on Bonaire.   September 28, 1997

This is a very good introductory book for diving on Bonaire. It lists and describes several of the best dive sites on Bonaire and Klein Bonaire. It also provides some general tourist information for Bonaire, which many first-time Bonaire divers may find very interesting. The book is also compact and is great for traveling.


Very informative!   July 8, 1997

I found this book to be very helpful. It contains excellent coverage of Bonaires' dive sites. I dive in Bonaire about once or twice a year and have been using this book to plan my shore dives and read about sites before I visit them. I've just returned from a 5 day trip to Bonaire. Guess what I brought along
