Timeline

2014

Captain Don Stewart, (born Donal A. Stewart; 1925 – May 30, 2014), was best known as Captain Don, The Father of Bonaire. In the early 1950s, he invented and patented an "adapter for screen cloth" which is basically the frame for a screen door. He was also a story teller, an advanced scuba diver, an environmental activist and protector of the coral reefs that fringe the coastline of Bonaire, a small island in the Caribbean Netherlands where Stewart lived most of his life.

1976

After Stewart arrived on Bonaire, he realized the importance of protecting its fragile ecosystem, both above and below the ocean. He introduced permanent mooring systems to protect the island's fringing reefs, and spearheaded a campaign that banned spearfishing and tropical fish collecting on Bonaire. He named most of the dive sites on the island, and in 1976, founded a resort hotel of his own, and named it Captain Don's Habitat. He was inducted into the International Scuba Diving Hall of Fame in 2005. One of his memorable quotes when greeting scuba divers to the island was simply, "Take only pictures and memories, leave only bubbles.” He was quite serious about not touching the corals or harming the fish, which led to the founding of Bonaire Marine Park.

1962

Stewart was penniless when he first arrived on Bonaire in May 1962 but quite eager to make things happen. A friend once quipped in an interview that, "no matter what Don tells you, the truth is he stayed in Bonaire because that's where his ship sank".

1960

Stewart was instrumental in opening Zeebad, Bonaire's first hotel and dive operation. It was built on property that was once a German detention camp, and over time, the hotel grew to become Divi Flamingo Beach Resort & Casino. In the late 1960s, Irwin Hasen, who was a cartoonist with the Chicago Tribune Syndicate at the time, had created the cartoon character "Dondi" which was published daily in more than a hundred newspapers. During a trip to Bonaire, Hasen met Captain Don, and created a segment in the Dondi comic-strip that illustrated Captain Don teaching Dondi how to scuba dive, and preserve the coral reefs.
