We're thinking about going in late June, looking for others' experiences
with dive shops and accomodations. How about mosquitos?

The diving is nice. I dove there on the Wind Dancer 3 years ago.

Try to get there early in the day. That way, if your baggage has to
come on a later flight from Provodenciales, it is more likely to be on
the same day.

Check with someone local about the jellyfish spawning. I was in
Providenciales sometime in June and the jellies were everywhere. Wasn't
really an issue for me for diving, but some people got stung.
Snorkeling at the beach was a bit unnerving, though. Swimming through
hundreds of yards of the little swimmers packed in a few inches apart
took some mental control. If you go forward, they flow around you, but
if you back up, they rush toward you. It's all due to currents
generated by your own movements, but sometimes that is hard to remember.
Whatever you do, don't slap at them like mosquitoes.

Are you talking about thimble jellies or "real" jellies?

Thimble. Billions of them. Knowing Al, they won't bother him a bit,
but I thought I'd mention them for completeness.

We had them on one trip to New Providence. If you want to see millions
of real jellies, dive off the SC coast in April or early May. The cool
part is that with the jellies, you may get to see a mola-mola or two.

The thimbles don't bother me, but Cindy reacts to them.

We still haven't decided where to go. All I want is a quiet place with
no insects, no cruise ships, great diving and an operator who will take
us to the sites and shut up.

Assume you have considered shore diving at Bonaire.

I've been there several times, but not since Lenny. Cindy hasn't been
there. It's on the "short list"
