Bonaire Trip Update #2

Fantastic weather, warm, clear water and gorgeous reefs…what more can a diver ask for? We have had some really great dives over the past few days. The conditions have been superb, the dive crew has been great and the hospitality excellent. Everyone is having a great time, diving a lot, learning a lot about diving (we have some brand new and relatively inexperienced divers in our group) and enjoying each others’ company.

Some of our group went shore diving away from the resort today, and came back with dive reports. Some of the sites they chose had less than ideal entry conditions, so they changed and went to other, less challenging sites. That’s the beauty of shore diving on Bonaire….find a site that looks up to your skill level, and go for it!

During our boat dives today, one of our rental Sealife DC1200 cameras was used by Margaux Huismann…here are some of the shots she took:

The Sealife DC1200 sure is an amazing camera system. Even though a lot depends on the skill of the photographer, this camera makes it easy to get good snapshots with ease. Adding the external strobe makes all the difference, to bring out the true colors of the subjects under water.

Anyway…current dive conditions: water temperature consistently 81-83, visibility anywhere from 80 feet generally to well over 100 feet at the dive site called “Rappel”.
