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.

A deep, a drift and a night - three fantastic dives in one day

As part of our advanced diving certification (with Gooodive, Bonarie)  we had three fantastic dives in one day - one of pictures posted from the wreck Hilma Hooker, one drifting from La Danias Leap to Karpata saying hi to a couple of turles and a huge Rainbow Parrotfish on the way, and one night dive at Salt Pier which goes into history as one of the most memorable dives ever. Three octpus and two rays - a southern stingray up close and an eagle ray up even closer as it turned around and bumped into me as I was taking its picture! Most likely will never ever get closer to a ray than this, spots on picture below taken in the moment it bumped into my knee! Woaw! And Salt Pier at night is a fantastic macrodive - with orange anemones that open only during night and basket stars reaching out for prey. The colours covering the pillars are simply breathtaking :)
