Bonaire Viking Divers 2018: Queen Angel

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.

Queen Angel

Yesterday was a "busy"diving day with three dives, - Oil Slick Leap in the morning, Witches Hut in the afternoon and a nightdive at Windsock. From last visit to Oil Slick I remembered a beautiful Queen angel, and she didn't disappoint, - we met again. The name "Queen" comes from the little blue "crown" she has on her head/top. This is one of the most colorful fish of the reef :) On our nightdive we stayed down for 70 minutes, but apart from 3 tarpons following us/sneaking up on us and wondering if we were odd fish or food...we didn't see lot (some moray eels, lobster, +the usual stuff..) Always exciting with a nightdive though:) .
