Bonaire

Bonaire
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.

Cabo Verde – cant see, where are you…? - or Bonaire – where are YOU?

When the wind and waves pick up at Sal – there are murky waters…  The Scubadoobys first encounter with Cape Verdian diving can be described with one word: soup..!  - and it wasn’t  even fish soup! The only time we have had poorer visibility was the Oslofjord, April and 4 Celcius water. Today warm though, 28 C – but we could barely see the wreck we were diving on. The Santo Antao wreck is a ship that sunk in 1967, and there are some coral formations on the body, but the main attraction today was the big puffers hovering around – we saw them as we bumped into them.  Apart from that – it wasn’t much of a dive. Practising a bit with the camera was useful though. And – we do realize now how spoiled we are (actually we knew that).  Crammed in a rib with 11 divers + crew was kind of a culture shock! If only Captain Menno and Me Jadato could come and pick us up!
