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.

Feeding Frenzy!

Fordi vi nå også har engelskspråklige følgere, tar vi dagens blogg på engelsk :)

Three wonderful dives, each with their different highlights. The morning started with the virgin divetrip of Menno's new boat! And what a boat! Spacious, fast (over 400 hp) and very comfortable, a treat to divers ;) Two dives on Klein Bonaire, - first Sharons Serenity where a free swimming enormous green moray eel soon greeted us! Plenty of fish - file, french angel, schools of black durgeons and blue tang, spotted moray eels, porcupine fish +++. Second stop was Samplers, after luncheoning with Esthers as always delicious muffins :)) Highlight of second dive, - TURTLE! If that is not enough, after an afternoon snooze, we went nightdiving at Front Porch. Ty and Kelly are notorious nightdivers and have introdused us 4 years ago to this exiting activity. This was an awesome dive! The underwater world changes completely at night, parrotfish sleeping under rocks, creatures/soft corals opening up and coming out, - and predators hunting. Had company of a large grouper for most of the dive (using our torches to pick his meny of the day...) and an even larger tarpon (size of Stein, fatter though....) that escorted us right back up to the beach! A lobster peaking out from under a rock. But the absolute highlight of the day, - watching a Moray eel hunting down a blue fish and having a feeding frenzy ! See video, - courtesy of Stein Costeau Dahl. More pictures of today will need to come later, - too tired for photoshop now...
