Good morning everyone... so, is this a rare albino fish, or just an interesting trick of the light? My guess would be the lighting, but it still looks pretty cool.

It's the lighting. Body shape, etc. I'd say that is a parrotfish.

Looks like divers may be coming soon!

It looks almost as quiet in Bonaire as it is here in my office. Roll on 5:30!!

some of us in the denver area are planning on a get together in july. have not totally set the time or place yet. but are looking seriously at july 13th in the evening. any other denver area bonarie lovers who want details. just email me and i will be happy to share our plans.

there are alot of denver folks who love bonaire.
so we thought it may be fun to meet each other.

when we have the time and place set we will post it.

Finally a diver!

And more!!!

This thread seems to be winning right now. Here's some more of the divers this morning and a mystery fish.

Sorry about that, it did not come out like I wanted. The pictures are under 25k each, but they're to big. Live and learn (stinking Photo Editor did not show them actual size).

I'm trying to figure out what to pack for my trip. Are the divers in the pictures (above)wearing shorty's and lycra suits or full wetsuits? I hope I can get away with shorts and a T-shirt but with long shallow dives I don't want to be uncomfortable. Suggestions?

When I was on Bonaire in march, I wore a shorty. Even with 3 or 4 dives a day it was comfortable. Have fun...

the water temp is 80 to 81 degrees F...when the temp was 78 degrees in february, folks were wearing hoods...sounds like a full 3mm is not too much for nice long dives with minimal air consumption...

These temps look pretty typical...maybe a few degrees warmer than when we were there in late March of last year. The first couple days were pretty comfortable in dive skins, but by the end of the week (15 dives later) my core body temp dropped enough that I was freezing in a 3mm after just 10 minutes in the water. My personal recommendation... take as thick a wet suit as you have room for. You might not need it at first, but you'll be glad you have it by the end of the week.

Cecil,
I think that mistery fish is a Big Puffer
(Sorry my Inglish, but i promisse I will be better!)

Alexandre, that was my guess too, a Porcupine Fish. Don't worry about your English, mines not to good either.

I would agree on the puffer - a porcupinefish by the body shape and fins.

The wet suit debate is always a good one. I was in the water Saturday with a full length 3 mm tropical. I got very cold by the end of 45 minutes so I got out. If you are use to colder waters or live in colder climes you might be fine in T-shirt . I would suggest packing a shorty or tropical suit if you have one. You know it fits unlike a rental.

Hello, can somebody tell me how to put a picture with this message, so i can you show a nice (forgotten) picture from the webcam, of my diving daughter, Sandra, from Dive-Inn??

Gerrit,

Scroll down to the bottom of this page and click on the "formatting" link. It shows you how to post pictures and files as well as text formatting and all kinds of interesting things.

"\" +"image{}" without the quotes - yields the "your image here" logo then you are asked to browse for the actual jpg or gif file...you need to put some text between the {}
