Re: Bonaire..anyone care to share their story?

Fred,

When I was down there I was freediving by myself, but the reefs were awesome and you could paly at any depth you wanted to. Top of the wall was around 15'-25' and the sloped on down to 150'+. When I was there I saw no freediving operations down there but that has since changed.

Now, if you want the real story wait a week because Ted and his wife are down there as I write this- b@st@rd! He has even booked a course with the freedive shop on the island. It will be interesting to see what he has to say. It lookds like they dive the windward side to swim with the pods of wild dolphins. The whole island is one big shore dive so you can't make diving much easier than that.

Bonaire is one of the places my wife would go back to, along with Bleize. She has made it very well know to me that she doesn't ever wish to go back to Ultila, or even Roatan for that fact. Bonaire had great, easy, diving without the biting sand flies and dead reefs. There were lots of fish to see and it is out of the hurricane belt.

When the kids are a bit bigger Bonaire is one of the first places I would like to take them to get them hooked on diving- after a bit of ice diving first.
