Make sure the bugspray has DEET in it. And use it before you go to dinner, I didn't get bit at all diving but was attacked at most every restaurant with a tablecloth.

Take batteries for your electronics and take them home with you. Bonaire can't recycle them and ships them off-island so they're pricey there.

I'd take gauze/bandaids and Neosporin but then I'm good about getting torn up on the ironshore. Although there's a good pharmacia in town.

Get a couple of tank o-rings from your diveshop there. There's no diveops in the far north or anywhere south of Belnem so it's a long drive back for one. Some of the tanks are pretty beat up too, they get a lot of use - so look them over b4 you load them.
