They are beautiful! I think I want to see a shark now, a nice one like that, with Patrick between me and it!
|
By Tom "Silly" C. (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #5220) on Thursday, September 20, 2007 - 10:01 am: |
PegiSue, the most important thing to remember if a shark becomes agressive is: "Swim faster than your dive buddy."
|
By John "Smack" Anderson (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #1426) on Thursday, September 20, 2007 - 10:12 am: |
COOL, Timmmy! It's a treat to see them.

So what do you think of Bonaire Timmy?
|
By Timmmy (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #4412) on Thursday, September 20, 2007 - 3:10 pm: |
Cynde - they are juvenile reef sharks.

WOW!!! Awesome!!!!!!!

By Timmmy (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #4414) on Thursday, September 20, 2007 - 5:01 pm: |
Smack - we saw local fishermen fishing the reefs on Klein everyday... very small boats, one guy and a hand line... I wonder if they could land one of these guys with such light line? Jake told me they target the small reef grouper.
|
By TN Jim (BonaireTalker - Post #29) on Thursday, September 20, 2007 - 9:31 pm: |
Great shark photos Timmmmy. Bet you can't find anything like them in the Holston River, unless it was one of those big Flathead Catfish.
|
By Mara - Hula QUEEN (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #2713) on Thursday, September 20, 2007 - 9:43 pm: |
LOL - well TN Jim - I saw something that looks like a mix between a guitarfish and a basking shark at Loch Low-Minn in Athens, TN this weekend. So just how far away from the Holston are you??? I'm at the South Fork.

Timmmy, you better believe if the fishermen find they can make some money(big fish) they'll bring out the heavy line and bait. Did the Park system ever put in moorings for them? Or they still anchoring using the traditional big rock? They have destroyed much of the reef in Bonaire. grrrrrrr
|
By Mara - Hula QUEEN (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #2718) on Friday, September 21, 2007 - 12:00 pm: |
Hey Smack - it was a paddlefish or I should say THEY were paddlefish. It was really cool I just had no idea that they swam around with their mouths open. I actually thought about you and BH when I was driving back home. My hubby was supposed to go with me but he decided he just wanted to stay home so it was just me that went. It's $20 for the day and $5 to fill a tank or $15 to rent a tank. You probably have a cold water wetsuit but I didn't so I had to rent one of those. But that's a TOTALLY different story. The water temp in the first 30ft was about 76 or so - it was really pleasant. At 30 ft forget it! I'd say 64. I dipped down there when I needed to cool off but it was a VERY quick dip -otherwise it was 28ft for me.

Boom, great shots! Tell Guy to get better soon...he probably got the cold from finally being able to let his body relax after the last few months of fire fighting! Hugs to you both

I don't like sharks, please tell them to go back to where they came from.
|
By Brian (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #3208) on Sunday, September 23, 2007 - 3:16 am: |
Sharks are great, they don't like people even our bubbles normally scare them off. My best encounter was with two dozen hammerhead sharks including one baby shark, I got to 5 metres away from them.

By Babs (BonaireTalk Deity - Post #11911) on Sunday, September 23, 2007 - 11:59 am: |
AWESOME!!! Great pics Timmmy & Tara. One group spotted some sharks at hmmm, I think it was Rock Pile, on Klein in April and my buddies and I missed them! So glad Patrick was able to find them for you Tara!

In my many years and many dives on Bonaire, I have seen only one shark. You few, you few, you lucky few. Great shots guys. Wow!!
