I use both 5mm and 7mm ONeall Heat round toe. EZ on/off, nice sole I like to be WARM, so i can try stuff and fall in a lot. I had ankle gaskets for a month.

Bonaire is great IF you pay the kite school at the one beach there, Atlantis, for a rescue in advance. It's off-shore wind. You can pay up front for a rescue at a heavily discounted price, OR they will motor out to you if you need a rescue for A LOT MORE. Snorkeling there is off the charts, as is th...
