As usual we stayed at Lagoen Hill. With rental car and no kids there is no need for sea side living.
The trip this time started in a bad way. The baggage from Amsterdam was missing. The whole container with baggage was missing! Two days of diving with rental gear and in our under ware was not too bad. Most annoying was not having your own fins. At least we had our regulators, dive computers and cameras with housing.

This time we saw more things than we ever seen before.
On the top list we have:
- Squids at Buddy’s Reef
- Spotted Eagle Ray at Buddy’s Reef
- Close up’s with Southern Sting outside Lac Cai
- Nice Green Moray Eel’s outside Lac Cai (misses them on the west side)
- A lot of turtles outside White Hole
- Nice large turtle at Angel City
- Spotted Eagle Ray at Hilma Hooker (safety stop)
- Spotted Eagle Ray at Red Slave
- Cleaning Shrimp's in action at The Rock
- Nurse Shark at Alice in Wonderland (double reef)

We had great dives with East Coast Diving and two really nice dives with Larry at Rappel and Klein Bonaire (Just a Nice Dive). Especially Rappel was fantastic, great under water scenery.

What kind of cameras did you shoot with?

Awesome composition in both the still and video! Thanks for sharing.

Well........WOW!

Best vids I've seen in a while. Wonderfully unobtrusive captures of reef life and fish/creature behavior/interactions!

Nicely done.

Thank you for your comments.
