Hey guys,

Just came back from Bonaire yesterday. Great trip! Anyways if you are looking for Sofnolime (408 & 8-12 in 10 ibs kegs), Cylinders and Bailout bottles, get in touch with Walt at Bonaire@HabitatDiveResorts.com

He has AL13's and AL27's for the big guys to pack around. Bailouts include 30's, 40's etc. with or without regs. Just let him know in advance when you will be down so he has sorb handy.

He was also talking about bringing in extended air cartriges for the Optima uses in the near future.

Were the prices reasonable or would it be worth it to carry some with you?

Sofnolime was $8.90 per pound. I carried my meg and regs as carry one and my other kit in one bag, cloths and all. It weighed 47Ibs so I still had another 50Ibs for checkin available.

Next time I may consider bringing my own.

Wow...that's $50/fill, and at a $35 surcharge for overweight baggage, it may be worthwhile packing a 22Kg Keg. That is, if your dive buddy can carry it for you! Sounds like you had an excellent time nonetheless.
