Discover Scuba - Bonaire or Aruba?

[SailAway8]

I want to take my kids (13 and 11) on a Discover Scuba trip during our Princess Cruise in Dec. and we're trying to decide between Bonaire and Aruba. Any recommendations?

BONAIRE! We love it there.

The clearest water you can ever imagine.

For Bonaire, is there an independent company someone would recommend for Discover Scuba (versus the cruiseline)? We loved it when we did it in Cozumel a few years ago, and don't have current plans to get certified, so "Discover" is our only option.

To answer my own question, we used Blue Divers in Bonaire on March 18, 2009 while in port (six hour stop). A link to the full review can be found in my signature if interested. :)
