No flight or eatery reports here, just a taste of my stay.

I had a great place at Lighthouse Beach #13 to stay, although it was a little empty without Bubba joining me.

I was lucky enough to have a fellow VT'er(Paige) on island and we dove and dove. She is what you always hope for in a buddy. Thanks Paige!

We met up with Bas and Kellie which was even better. The turtles were all over as were the squids, and the east side dives also produced lots of rays! Bas took us to some sites we had never done before, showing us an area of the island I had never seen. You can't ask for more!

We did perform another fish rescue on the south side by removing a lost fish trap from the corral and renduring it ineffective. This pic shows how we found it laying in the soft corral, before we removed it to an area and rendering it to a condition that will cause no more harm. Tom, note the 3 morays!!:D

The rest of the pics are from various dives as I manage to edit them.

For those who have been to Bonaire, this report is all you need to share in my trip. For those who have never been to Bonaire, all the reports in the world will not do the true experience justice. For that, you must go and see for yourself! IMO! Enjoy!

Sharks at Klein

Wow! Thanks for the shark pics.

Smack great black tips! What a great treat! And everyone says there's "nothing" special to see at Klein ;-) heh heh

Awesome shark pics, first black tips I have seen captured on film, thanks for posting! That had to be a great experience!

Wait a second there, sharks on Bonaire, no way. John most excellent pictures. Good job on the fish trap. I like the turtle shots also. Are you shooting a PnS internal flash?

Smack
More great pic's! Are black tips common in the area?
The ray shots & squid are great too!

Great shark pics!!

Smack, great pics!
Was that a lone black tip or was it with others?

Hi Smack ... glad to hear you once again had a great time, and thanks for sharing your pics, especialy the pics of the rays.

There were several sharks(4 I'm told) off of Klein at Southwest Corner. They have been there for a couple of weeks, but who knows how long they will stay before the fishermen find them.

Cecil, I was using a Canon A95 in auto mode flash off. Haven't bothered to fuss with manual mode, too much like work when I'm trying to play.

Smack, love your pictures! The shark shots are great!!

Nice Shark pics ! how many sharks did you saw in klein Bonaire ? I`ve been diving for years in klein but never with sharks ! you are a lucky one !

The last few from my trip.

Smack, glad you managed to find a lettuce slug
