The diving infrastructure at Sonrisa is very well equipped and there is plenty of space, even though there were more divers this time than last year. The car provided for diving was in very good condition and spacious. Beat and Corinne always organized smaller tanks for Daniela, which was not possible at Buddy Dive, for example.

As I (Michael) hadn't been diving for a long time, Michael Booms accompanied us on the first four dives and then on the other dives (Red Slave, Tolo, Karpta). Michael and his wife Sabine are diving instructors and work together with Sonrisa. A highlight was a night dive with Michael, where we were able to experience the light show of the ostracods. The well-known dive sites (e.g. Salt Pier, Bachelor's Beach) were mostly overcrowded, but the further south you went, the fewer divers there were. In the second week there was almost no wind, so the sites further south were easy to dive (no kite surfers!) and the swell was no problem in the north either. The super site "Red Slave" is very far to the south and it is advisable to dive with a guide, as the swell can be high and the current strong. Otherwise, shore diving on Bonaire is still very relaxed, although the entry and exit points are not always easy due to the uneven bottom. Shaking hands is highly recommended.
