|
By Kathy Hall (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #1899) on Wednesday, December 22, 2004 - 9:28 am: |
Those bubbles coming out of the guy's mouth are funny. OK, seriously got to get back to getting ready for work.
|
By Stan (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #754) on Wednesday, December 22, 2004 - 9:29 am: |
aha, diver looks like Jake??
|
By Debbie Babcock (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #685) on Wednesday, December 22, 2004 - 9:29 am: |
Stan, I think the ray is moving away from the cam, in the large pic, I can make out its tail, so I am guessing it is the underneath of him, left side.
|
By Mark Hanes (New BonaireTalk Poster - Post #6) on Wednesday, December 22, 2004 - 9:38 am: |
Debbie..Thanks..dont worry..itll go fast..this will be out third Christmas eve in Bonaire..cant think of a place in the world Id rather be..wish the UW/Cam was in 40 feet so I could take my 11 year old to smile on it
|
By Mark Hanes (New BonaireTalk Poster - Post #7) on Wednesday, December 22, 2004 - 9:40 am: |
WHY does the Diver have gloves on..what's he planning on touching I wonder..call the Marine Park Police!!!
|
By Debbie Babcock (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #686) on Wednesday, December 22, 2004 - 9:45 am: |
Mark, Stan might be right, it being Jake, I think he cleaned the u/w cam for us less fortunate people who can only look at Bonaire through its lens! BTW, Jake and his lovely wife Linda started this website and have done so much work keeping it going ect.
|
By Kathy Hall (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #1900) on Wednesday, December 22, 2004 - 10:13 am: |
Just getting settled in at work, and there's another diver.
|
By Debbie Babcock (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #688) on Wednesday, December 22, 2004 - 10:14 am: |
We have a visitor!
|
By Debbie Babcock (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #689) on Wednesday, December 22, 2004 - 10:16 am: |
GMTA Kathy, I got to get some work done around here, but since the ray, I just keep coming back!
|
By Mark Hanes (New BonaireTalk Poster - Post #8) on Wednesday, December 22, 2004 - 10:19 am: |
Well..Ive got alot to learn..I guess if Jake was working then the gloves are ok..but gloves are a general no no in my book..as a DM I dont allow rec divers to wear them when they dive with me..there isnt anything to touch on the reefs..I dont think..I do know alot of divers that wear them for protection though and have to say Ive suffered coral burns a few times myself..lol
|
By Kelly Baum (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #2131) on Wednesday, December 22, 2004 - 10:27 am: |
Sorry, guys, that wasn't Jake! He's somewhere else right now... check out Everything Else for his whereabouts and some great pics...
|
By Debbie Babcock (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #690) on Wednesday, December 22, 2004 - 11:06 am: |
Hi Kelly,
|
By Ron Gould (BonaireTalker - Post #22) on Wednesday, December 22, 2004 - 11:10 am: |
NO TOUCH, NO TAKE, NO BREAK!! Any diver who is wearing gloves other then cold water is part of the problem and will never be part of the solution. He must have brought them on the Island I have never seen gloves for sale on Bonaire in the 30 years I been going there. Mabe a rookie with little comprehension. I don't mean to sound rude but someone had to protect the reef. Good Morning to all ans Merry Christmas.
|
By Stan (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #756) on Wednesday, December 22, 2004 - 11:15 am: |
is the ray still around?
|
By Kathy Hall (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #1901) on Wednesday, December 22, 2004 - 11:23 am: |
Stan, I was just looking at the 10:38, 10:40 and 10:42 and I'd say yep, it's the ray!
|
By Kelly Baum (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #2132) on Wednesday, December 22, 2004 - 11:30 am: |
Maybe "Ray" will hang around all day and entertain us...

|
By Kathy Hall (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #1902) on Wednesday, December 22, 2004 - 12:18 pm: |
Actually, there was one back in July, just after the cams were moved there. Thought it was a manta at first because it looked so huge, but you could see his spots.
|
By Mary Mueller (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #3503) on Wednesday, December 22, 2004 - 12:21 pm: |
Mark - the webcams threads are for posting pics from the web cams. To prevent the cam cops from beating up on you - you can post that picture on the community chat thread or everything else bonaire thread.
|
By Kelly Baum (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #2135) on Wednesday, December 22, 2004 - 12:26 pm: |

|
By Debbie Babcock (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #692) on Wednesday, December 22, 2004 - 12:41 pm: |
Mark, I have a ten y.o. son as well who will be able to officially dive this year. He can't wait to go in February!
|
By Mark Hanes (BonaireTalker - Post #14) on Wednesday, December 22, 2004 - 12:47 pm: |
Debbie..it is SO COOL to have a kid thats going for the first time!!..I Mean its like you get to see it for the first time yourself again..a wonderous thing!!..safety is utmost tho..always have 2 adults is my rule..cause if anything happens to you ..god forbid..your kids first instinct is to help you..and they can't..and will get into trouble themselves..plus ..as you know..one person cant watch a kid..LOL
|
By Debbie Babcock (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #693) on Wednesday, December 22, 2004 - 12:53 pm: |
Mark, I remember when my daughter, now 16, got her certification. OMG! We were so proud and her father just was busting at the seams and to see them go into the water together makes my eyes tear! She is going to be a marine biologist and my son is like a fish in water, already has had a tank on him, he's a natural. Safety is #1, especially when they first get cert. My daughter is much better now.

Wouldn't want to miss a ray...you'd be ray-miss
|
By Kathy Hall (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #1904) on Wednesday, December 22, 2004 - 3:26 pm: |
I went to Wal Mart on my lunch in the wind and rain...oh my, what a stormy day. Now my hair is a mess. Sort of a"cave woman" look. lol
|
By Mark Hanes (BonaireTalker - Post #15) on Wednesday, December 22, 2004 - 3:59 pm: |
Debbie..A Marine Biologist huh??..That's Great!!..I hope my son will decide to do something like that rather than be a professional X-Box Wizzard..LOL..Looking back I wish I had done that myself..Got close for a while..I spent 8 -10 weeks a year in the Yucatan exploring the UW cave System with some of the Pros down there..Actually I want to try to get a peek into the caves in Bonaire one of these trips..I dont remember the gentlemans name that was the main explorer of them..I was going to get a look with him a few years back but he passed away before we could get together..Looks like it may be getting time for a small squall on the beach cams..
|
By Kathy Hall (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #1905) on Wednesday, December 22, 2004 - 4:51 pm: |
My oldest stepdaughter (also a diver) has always said she wanted to be a marine biologist as well. I hope she doesn't give up the dream. Seems to be slipping away, as she's 20 and in college, working full time and "in love". But maybe not.

By Kathy Hall (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #1908) on Wednesday, December 22, 2004 - 6:01 pm: |
Hi Mark. Did you learn how to post a pic, yet? BTW, the cams update every two minutes if you have a paid membership - otherwise, I think it's every 6 minutes or so.
|
By Kathy Hall (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #1909) on Wednesday, December 22, 2004 - 6:05 pm: |
The sky is changing fast. I'm going to slip out of work a few minutes early. Mark, to post a pic just right click and save it....then in teh Add a Message box put in (without spaces) \image {1} - then a screen will come up asking you to replace what's in the bracket with the pic saved on your computer. Try it!

By Debbie Babcock (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #694) on Wednesday, December 22, 2004 - 6:06 pm: |
Hey Mark,
|
By Kathy Hall (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #1910) on Wednesday, December 22, 2004 - 6:11 pm: |
Hi Debbie! My SD always said she would go to Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, FL - which would be handy as my inlaws live there. They offer the whole shebang of Marine Science degrees. She's getting in her 1st two at Estrella in Phoenix. I'm going to get out of here and venture out into this storm again.
|
By Mark Hanes (BonaireTalker - Post #18) on Wednesday, December 22, 2004 - 6:32 pm: |
Kathy..Just too dumb to get the pictures to post..lol..Ill figure it out in a year or two
