Yes, we are still in
Bonaire......and the following is the reason why;
  The ever watchful
Barracuda
The ever friendly Snake eel
  The bashful French Angel
fish
and the exotic Midnight Parrot
  Typical coral
garden
bold and colourful
  A squadron of Squid getting into
formation
and my favourite, the Porcupine Puffer fish
  Jo's favourite, a great find, the Frog
Fish
and spot the Frog Fish
  the Spotted Cleaner
Shrimp
and a rusty coloured Seahorse
  Trumpet fish and
pals
and the strange 'bee bo' Garden Eeels
  Buddy
Divers
and the famous 'Miss Marples' in action on the
right
'Miss Marples', I hear you say....who the hell is
Miss Marples?
Well, that is the very apt knick-name given to
Jo.......the underwater investigator. She looks in every crevis and under every
rock....she leaves no stone unturned, (so to speak), in search for the
elusive sea creature. She has found them all and we just follow her about
blowing bubbles and wonder at her discoveries. Even the locals ask for
directions to closest sea horses or any other rare creature.
She has taken to this diving lark like a duck to water and the only
thing keeping her out of the oggin is the occasional respite for food,
booze and her daily fix of tele.
Its not going to be an easy decision to move from
this fabulous island. We love it here and not just because of the diving. It is
very safe, even to walk about late at night, (a rarity in the Caribbean), and
there is plenty to do without being too touristy and in your face. You can get
virtually anything here and the only disadvantage is that it is hitting our
wallet pretty hard but its worth it. We would certainly
recommend anyone wishing to learn to dive to consider coming here first. It
is both easy and spectacular......a great combination for new
divers.
So, a big thumbs up for Bonaire.........lets
hope the the rest of the ABC Islands prove as
good.
