Thanks for all the pics, Darlene. We also were amazed at all the loras we saw because of the draught. What kind of camera do you use?

Brenda, We saw lots of green turtles when out on the Woodwind

Carol, We use the Olympus 1010

Freddie, Thanks for cleaning up all my
oopsies! :)

Thanks for all the compliments. My husband and I really enjoy taking them.

I couldn't ID the little green and black blenny in the brain coral. Does anyone know what he is??

Great job, Darlene and Tom, wonderful pictures. You guys see more stuff snorkeling than I do diving and I'm not happy about this. I may have to dive under where you snorkel next year and you can suck my bubbles. We'll see what you see then.

Darlene, It was great seeing you and Tom on island. It was my first snorkel trip on the Woodwind since I couldn't dive that trip and I was so glad I did it! Really fun time with BT'rs that day and Dee and her crew were awesome. We actually had a three snorkel stop trip that day on the Woodwind. :)

Love your pics, you truly outdid yourselves this year with prime pics! I agree, you sure can see as much, IF not more snorkeling on Bonaire as you do diving. I enjoy both, actually feel sorry for those who can't fathom trying to snorkel if they can't dive. They are so missing out on the wonderful world of Mother Ocean. :) Hope to see you both again soon.

Cecil, Remember when you use to look at our pictures and the fish would be circled in the picture so that you could see it! :) You can snorkel beneath me anytime. I love breaking the bubbles!
Debbie, It was great seeing you again! I wish we had gotten the chance to do a snorkel together. Maybe next time! Your a good luck charm for dolphins! :)

Hey Snorkel Queen! Great set. You are THE creature spotter (juv Queenie, Puddingwife, and an eagle ray practically in your pocket, to name just a few of my favorites). Where in the world was that shark And is that a wahoo beside it?

Thanks again everyone for all the compliments!!!

Hi Bill and Donna!
The shark was over by fishing pier on the east side by Lac Bay and yes that is a Wahoo. We found four or five juv queens which was a record for us. We saw a lot of adult queens too but we still haven't been able to get a good shot of one yet.Tom has been trying to get a good adult shot for a while now but they are always so deep and just go deeper by the time he gets down there :( I have my tattoo of a Queen on my leg because they are a favorite of ours too! :)
TATTOO
