Bonaire Viking Divers 2018: Better visibility today,

BREAKING NEWS:

The Scubadooby creature has been off course once before, and this year there are signs of proof that this might happen again... Not so much off course though, still along the golf stream the creature has drifted to the Bahamas!

The creature seem to be more and more dependent on water, moving down from the hills to the beach in Bonaire last year, the creature now actually will rest ON the water when surfacing from the deep. It has become rather sociable and will be spending time on a sailboat with very goood friends and UW-creatures whenever up to dry up. Since this implies less WIFI connectivity, time will show if the Scubadooby are able to transmit signals to the rest of the world. The creature is still closely attached to new friend Precious, and hopefylly this symbiosis will result in images of the UW-scenery for landlocked creatures to enjoy - stay tuned :)

The Bahamas is an archipelagic state consisting of more than 700 islands, cays and islets in the Atlantic and is located southeast of Florida, north of Cuba and Haiti and northwest of the Turks and Caicos.

Bonaire er den minste av ABC-øyene (Aruba, Bonaire, Curaceau) - sør i Karibien ca 80 km nord for Venezuela. Bortsett fra et fantastisk korallrev og dykking i verdensklasse, er det ikke noe særlig annet å se eller ta seg til... en relativ flat, tørr og liten øy med masse kaktus og kun noen få sandstrender, altså det perfekte sted å senke skuldrene og ta det piano et par uker.

Better visibility today,

… but nowhere near Bonaire’s always clear waters. A bit rough seas, but managed to do two dives with no problems. There’s not that much coral here, so missing in the colors we’re used to see. But when you start to look under rocks and into small caves there is life! We went a few meters into a cave today, and it was teeming with squirrelfish and trumpetfish. Nice also to look out from the cave and into the blue ocean. Quite a few moray eels – green, spotted and “normal”. Puffers and porcupines are plentiful – and today we also saw a beautiful triggerfish. No sharks or manta’s yet though, - they might be there but with max 10 meters visibility we should be lucky to see them.

Now – this island don’t have much wi-fi so lucky to be able to load up pictures… will try again J
