Bonaire Viking Divers 2018: Colours of the night

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.

Colours of the night

At night the underwater scene changes, - critters come out and predators show up to eat. The colours also come out beautifully on pictures. Thursday night we went to "Ol Blue" for a night dive with Ty, Kelly, Mel and Ken, - hanging out in the shallow water hunting for good photo opportunities was the main purpose of this dive, inspired by Ken's great shoots with his Nikon D 700. Practise this year and maybe next year we can move up a division, now our Canon Ixus has to do the job :) Saw a couple of scorpionfish, lobster, big puffer, moray eel +++. A great way to end another day in paradise!
