snorkeling in Bonaire

[NCPDCBOP]

I'll be stopping in Bonaire via the Holland America Noordam. All of their shore excursions involving water specifically say "if you have diabetes, asthma, epilepsy ro a heart condition, you cannot particiapte. A waiver and full medical condition disclosure is required). This does not appear on any of the other island shore excursions. Does anyone know why? I was wondering if it might be restrictions by the goverment. I would like to snorkel and wonder if there is any independent groups someone could recommend.

It's a good ways from the ship pier, but worth the trip if you would like to snorkel a nice reef area with easy entry/exit. Take a taxi down to Bonaire Dive and Adventure, rent the gear and they have snorkeling on Bari Reef right off their dock!
