You mentioned that you took 4 tanks with which you could both do 2 dives. I'm curious to know what you did with your spare tanks while on each dive? Or did you wear 2 tanks each for each dive?

WOW! Rick and Susie, your photographs! I can't even find the words to express my admiration. I tried UW photography this year and was disappointed in my results. Your compositions and subjects and lighting and focus and colors and on and on and on! THANK YOU for letting us enjoy them!

What GREAT pictures Rick and Susie!!!!!! The Lizard...is he a friend of yours!!!!! :-) You guys left the day we arrived! When are you guys going back to Bonaire? We are going in October 2nd-13th for the coral spawning!!!!!!!! Did you coax the lizard with the banana? At Oil Slick, a lizard came right up to us and we gave them cheetos and they loved them. They would eat some beside us and take a few back in the bushes!! Rick, are you a professional photographer?

Awesome photos. Great work. Thanks for sharing.

Bill and Donna, I guess the lizard became a friend as soon as we broke out the food. There were several places in Washington Park where the whiptail lizards weren’t shy about accepting handouts. When we went to Washington we brought ample bananas, grapes and melon for the critters. I’m not sure when we will be back to Bonaire yet. No, I’m not a professional photographer. There was one time I came close to getting a little money though. A friend asked me to take some pictures for an event and promised to pay for the film, but I still haven’t seen the green stuff.
