Dive Friends Bonaire Offers Special Events to Celebrate Bonaire’s Rincon Day 2007

All of Bonaire celebrates with the village of Rincon each year on April 30, known throughout the Dutch Kingdom as the Queen’s birthday, but also locally known on Bonaire as “Dia di Rincon” (Rincon Day).  This year, Dive Friends Bonaire is planning some very special activities to commemorate the event. 

The day’s festivities will begin with a 9:00 AM departure for a two-tank boat dive (maximum capacity 24 persons over two boats).  A special price of $40.00 per person, plus sales tax, will be available on this day, effectively providing the two-tank boat dive for the price of a one-tank boat dive.  Those who are on an unlimited shore diving package already need only pay $18.00 per person, plus sales tax.

After a scheduled return at about 1:00 PM, some free time will be provided so divers can relax and have lunch. 

At 4:00 PM, those who wish to travel to Rincon to experience the culture, food, and drinks that will be plentiful in the streets of the village, can meet at Dive Friends where two vehicles will be ready to leave for Rincon.  There, everyone will be able to enjoy the dancing, music, ethnic foods, and other refreshments well into the night, when the entire village of Rincon turns into one huge street fair.  A small fee will be charged to offset the cost of drinks for the group.
