Well,back to reality. I returned from Bonaire yesterday afternoon. The week at Buddy Dive could not have been nicer. I traveled with a small group of ten great folks from Scubaland Adventures, Austin, TX. It was my first trip to Bonaire, but not my last. The diving was supurb with 100 ft + visability, 84 degree water temp. I logged 20 dives. My favorites were the Hilma Hooker, Sampler on Klein Bonaire, and Karpata. The night dives on Buddy’s Reef and the adjoining Machaca and Scientifico Reefs were exciting with five foot plus tarpon brushing against our sides, using our lights to spot food. During the week, I saw frogfish, seahorses, schools of black squid, barracuda, every reef fish imaginable, and the most vibrant coral and sponges. The accomodations were wonderful and spotlessly clean. The resturants on the island are very good and the Amstel Bright always ice cold. I am looking foward to my next trip, hopefully next summer.
