Bonaire Viking Divers 2018: Crystal clear waters

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.

Crystal clear waters – reef and plane wreck

To our surprise there is no dive operators in this area…, but we found tanks and someone to bring us out yesterday. One reef dive and one wreck dive – a plane that took off from the airstrip back in the 80-ies ended up on a shallow sand bank, now overgrown with corals and home for plenty of fish, nurse sharks, rays and the odd barracuda. The sharks left the wreck as we approached, we got a glimpse of a ray and we could explore the wreck from all angles. Shallow waters with the sun reaching down, a good photo subject.

We must down to Georgetown to find a proper dive operator as most of the divesites up here are reachable from liveaboards mostly, but we will get back in the water soon.
