Captain Don's Habitat January 23-31, 2010
Drift away to Bonaire to enjoy one of the world's most popular dive locations! Join Evelyn & Jim on an 8 day/7 night adventure on the beautiful island of Bonaire in the Netherlands Antilles. You will have the opportunity to dive the “Macro Capital of the Caribbean” and the “home of diving freedom”. Founded by legendary Capt. Don Stewart, Capt. Don’s Habitat is consistently rated as one of the top dive resorts in the world. Dive Conditions Bonaire's pristine reefs and diverse marine life are unique to the Caribbean. Because the waters around Bonaire have been protected by an actively managed marine park for the past 25 years, Bonaire today ranks among the top four best diving destinations in the world. The island's location in the south Caribbean gives it an arid climate with little rain fall; consequently, the waters are exceptionally clear of silt, calm, and dive-able year round. It is an ideal destination for underwater photographers. Water temperatures average a warm 78-84°F (25.6-28.9°C), with visibility averaging over 100 feet (30m), and frequently reaching up to 150 feet (50m).
The Bonaire Marine Park The fringing reef which surrounds Bonaire is a National Marine Park from the high water mark down to a depth of 200 feet/60m. Every diver who has not dived on Bonaire within the last calendar year must attend a diver orientation dealing with Bonaire Marine Park regulations and information. These orientation sessions are usually held at around 9AM the morning after you arrive on Bonaire, and you are required to attend and to obtain your Marine Park tag, which is necessary to legally dive in Bonaire's waters. The cost of the tag is US$25, and proceeds help support park management and services. Specialty Courses Dudas' Diving Duds will provide a Scuba Diving Instructor on your trip to help with all the diving arrangements. Be sure to take advantage of the opportunity to expand your diving knowledge and experience with a specialty course. You could do your Night Diver, or even your Enriched Air Nitrox Specialty on your vacation. Bonaire Trip Cost Breakdown 8 days/ 7 nights package:
$1695 Diver (pp/quad) $1495 Non Diver (pp/quad) Upgrades available
