Hi Diana,
-you are going to find the water awesome for both the swim and your scuba diving. (For those that don't dive the snorkeling is also great.)
Last year the 5k, since it crossed the channel, was a little rougher than the 10k. This year we are changing the 5k so that the course will be along the shore of Bonaire, over many reefs. It should be a lot calmer.
Basically your decision should be based on the distance you will want to swim as both will be along the coast in the same area.
