Bonaire Duex

Post by SEAriously »

We had the great fortune to dive in Bonaire last week! We were pleasantly surprised to find healthy reefs, and more fish than we had seen on previous trips. We spent almost every dive inspecting every piece of yellow and red coral to see if it had eyes, but alas no frogfish. This was also our first trip using a scooter in Bonaire. It was so much fun to zoom past schools of fish, and have them look at us like... Human's don't normally go that fast. 😮

Video link also coming soon!
In the meantime, here's my favorite shots from Insomniac.

I can’t get the photos to load for some reason, but sounds like an awesome trip and no, I don’t think many fish have seen a diver with a scooter before lol

Sounds like fun! Can’t wait to see the video.

Hopefully we'll get to a ththth soon! I can't believe the luck people have been having with sharks! Tim's ear has been being a jerk since the plane ride home, so we're waiting for that to feel better before attempting to dive again.

As promised, here’s a link to the video!

I’m not as proud of this one as some of the others I have put together. But, that’s what happens when you leave your camera at the house for a few dives! Glad I did though, it was nice to just dive for a change.
