Bonaire May 1 – 9, 2010. This trip was my wife’s gift to me for my 40th birthday. We Left O’Hare 6:25 pm and arrived Newark NJ. Left Newark at 11:55 pm and arrived on red-eye Continental at Flamingo International Airport at 4:25. Our luggage did not make it. The same for 2 others on the flight. Well, that’s why we fly with our mask, fins, snorkel, computer, camera, and swimsuits. We planned on renting BC’s and regs at Toucan Diving during our stay at the Plaza. Oh well, things happen, we were not going to let a little thing such as no luggage which contained our clothing, wet suits, flashlights, emt shears, batteries, chargers, all out personal items stop us from having fun.

Loved the pictures. Seahorses, turtles, a frogfish, and I think you mentioned you got video of some rays. Plus a nice variety of morays. Very nice.

Salt Pier is unrestricted as long as there is no boat there. No permission needed. We still dove it with a dive master as an after hours dive.

New videos from our trip. Enjoy. The videos were shot with video mode on a digital still camera with only ambient light.
