Make sure you bring enough EAC cartridges. I don't think you will be able to get them locally.

I am bringing 6 cartridges with me,hopping to get some hours and Depth in. All so taking two 13s and my 30 for bail.

Thanks for the Info

You can get oxygen next door at Don Lancasters. You can also rent O2 tanks there, if you have luggage weight problems. I dove Buddys in late January and got my O2 next door. It is a 5 minute walk.

Buddy was talking about adding rebreather support when I was there.

Good luck
Tom

Hey Siscokid,

Check out this site, www.rectekscuba.com.

Send Walt there an e-mail. He may have all your tanks and be able to supply the EAC's. I just returned from Bonaire and he supplied all my O2 as well as Dil and lime.

I also stayed at buddies for the first two days, then when and got another room somewhere else. If you are going down on the Continental flight friday night, be ready to sit with your bags till 3-4 pm till your room is ready, and trucks were not ready til 4-5 pm on saturday. Just what happen to me. Rooms were small, no room to spread out, but they booked us in the three bedroom Condo. Other than that,

Walt can take you to the Windjammer, 190ft. If you have never been before make sure to check out these sites:

Blue hole(white Hole)--Larry's wild side diving can take you if you don't want to make the walk over the shallow lagoon
The Lake--1st dive at the start of the double reef, if vis is clear-awsome.
Playa funchi --in the park
Karpata
Oil Slick
Andrea I -- enter turn right 35 ft about 100 yds down large yellow frog fish
Bari Reef-- Charlie the big Tarpon, you'll see
Town Pier--night or day, tons of small spieces
Alice in Wonderland
Hilma Hooker

Just my favorite sites, been there 4 yrs in a row. Have fun and be safe.

Hey Sisco,

Thanks
