This was my fifth trip to Bonaire and I'll expand on things I did that were new to me. First off I traveled solo from Chicago with Air Jamaica. The flight left two hours late due to replacing an oxygen sensor. Our connection in Montego Bay was there waiting for us so that was a good sign. After arriving and picking up luggage and rental vehicle I preceded to Photo Tours Dive at Caribbean Court. I had always dived thru them and been totally satisfied. The shop now is just off the road and is very handy for refills and parking. Eddie Faber briefed me and got me up to speed on rules, regulations, etc. Feb. 2004 was the last time there and tanks were available 24/7 but now would be 8 to 5 due to security. So a little more planning was due. I had the good fortune to be stay with a local. As this was a Bachelor vacation without Wife or Dive Buddies.
After watching a spectacular Bonaire sunset, which happened to be the best of the week I did a night dive at Small Wall as my check out dive.
There's now a picture along with my profile due to the good fortune to be diving with Bas and his new digital camera.

Great shot of you! We also used Photo Tours the last time we went, and they were great. Unfortunately, Bas was off island, but my husband dove the east side with him a couple of years ago and had a wonderful time-he's a great guide.

hey,

phototours says to do your checkout dive out in front of yellow sub - shame on you;)

but i guess small wall was a better choice than la dania's leap;)

i'll be cloning this trip in about a month;)

post some pics!

later,

spongebob
