Re: Bonaire, May,2010 (short report)
Since my first trip there, I've wanted to put together a NWDC trip to Bonaire... How much fun would it be to have one or two boatloads of "special idiots" (PNW divers, and NWDC divers specifically) playing in the clear blue water together?

We would totally be down with that plan, just let us know when (January or February are good months.....just sayin').scottsax wrote:Since my first trip there, I've wanted to put together a NWDC trip to Bonaire...

Re: Bonaire, May,2010 (short report)
May is low season and works for me!
We could fill up a vacation rental or even the small place we stayed at called "The Golden Reef" They have a Stay,Drive and Dive deal that is really good. "All you can eat Nitrox", was nice!
Club Dive in Bonaire! Sounds good to me!

Re: Bonaire, May,2010 (short report)
Glad you a great time and I assume you had no issue with flights. Bonaire is truly amazing and I can't wait to go back. I think that May is the perfect time, beginning of the low season.
Life is good, let's dive!!

Re: Bonaire, May,2010 (short report)
Hey Keith, it's Jason from Bonaire! I fully endorse your dive report.
Keith and I did night dives at Buddy's Reef, 1000 Steps and Oil Slick Leap (the latter two including my wife). Thanks again for helping make the night dives happen.
And I have to admit something - it was a SCORPIONFISH I saw, not a FROGFISH. I feel like such a newb. I realized it later when looking at my fish card, and confirmed it by looking at the picture. Now I don't have any consolation for missing the seahorses.

Re: Bonaire, May,2010 (short report)
Jason! I'm glad we got to dive with each other. You and your wife are good dive buddies. Now you need to come out to the Seattle/Tacoma area, so I can show you some of the great diving around here!JasonDives wrote:Hey Keith, it's Jason from Bonaire! I fully endorse your dive report.
Maybe I'll see you in Bonaire next May.
Bob! the flights were all good for that time of year, so you and Julie should plan on going next May.
On the down side of it, If I promote this May thing too much the flights might fill up.
It was fun diving on a Thursday, in Bonaire. Did I happen to metnion I dove 7 dives that day?

Re: Bonaire, May,2010 (short report)
I'll definitely let you know if we plan on heading there. It's an area we'd like to visit, but who knows when.
I'd also love to do Bonaire next May, but as I mentioned before, we may not get another vacation for three to four years...
Hope it's a bit cooler next May!

Re: Bonaire, May,2010 (short report)
Uhm.... I'd like to expand a little on Keith's dive report:BASSMAN wrote:WOW!
WOWSERS!!
(I'll try and post a more 'wordy' report in the next week or so - I'm still in ATL and won't even be back to the sunny PNW until tomorrow.)
That being said, I think a NWDC trip sounds great! A no-host, everybody book direct plan would work fine. Golden Reef would be great for those wanting to save a little coin and whose priority is diving as opposed to a fancy swimming pool. There are lots of good recommends for other options.
I'm pretty sure Bassman and I are going in May, and it would most probably pay for those who want to book early... PM me if you want details.
