Nathan, I answer to the question as far as finding a buddy, you will not have problem. We have a small resort here on Bonaire and we do get quite a few "single" divers. They nomally come to breakfast, meeting the other guests, talking and diving with them. We have some guests that have made such good friends that they always return at the same time of year! Another option is the dive shop you utilize. I know the majority of them, including Wannadive (ours) has a board for people looking for dive buddies. It is actually really easy to get someone to dive with on Bonaire. Hope this helps. Liz
