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.

New site: No way home....

Yesterday we went north, as far north you can go before entering Washington Slagbai Nat. Park. Intending to dive "Nukove" we had to abort that mission due to surfs breaking to high. Luckily we went to the end of the road, where there's a fishing hut and found a nice calm entry. Just after manouvering through an opening in the reef we swam right on top of a huge loggerhead turtle, resting in the shallow water. It did not seem to mind us at all, and gazed at us lazely as we wer allowed to study it from all angles. Two more times during the dive we saw this turtle, first swimming and then taking another nap again. The coral up here was pristine, nice reef with plenty of schooling fish, - different species together. Lots of Black Durgeons, Creole wrasse and Blue tang. Also saw a free swimming green moray eel, tarpon and rainbow parrot fish. Enjoyed this site so much we stayed for lunch at the beach and did the dive again in the afternoon. Only thing, - a bit difficult to find the way back through the reef.... hence our name for this site....
