Sue & Brian’s Trip Report Christmas 2004

The Habitat boat crew - Sherman, Netto, Wilco, Jenny, Karen, Rob, Christina, Max and Chris - were excellent as ever. The Bonaire Diver has been refitted with powerful new engines and I don’t think Netto will let it out of his sight.

Absolutely amazing photos Brian and Sue!! Seeing the photo of the dolphin brought back the excitement of watching them glide with the Habitat dive boat and then suddenly seeing them breaching. At least one person had the presence of mind to get a camera - the rest of us were still in shock and awe! I'm happy you saved such a wonderful memory. Sue

Creatures seem to gravitate to certain people....I think you can probably include yourselves in that group.

all I can say about the pics is...wow! I just got a D70 myself and I'll be in Bonaire very soon. I hope I get a few good shots myself. ABout the dolphin pics- same camera? did you still have it in the housing?

The Dolphins stayed with us for 15 to 20 minutes, I really want to meet these guys underwater.

Fab photos Brian. Only 1 week and 2 days to go till we are back in Bonaire. I cannot wait. I have also just got a Nikon D70 which will be with me, but I'll use my Sea & Sea MM11 Ex underwater as I have no housing for the Nikon. I hope that I can get some photos like yours. Jo

Chris the MMII is a good camera especially with the ability to swap lenses underwater. You may be able to rent a housing for the D70 from one of the Photo Shops. I know Exposures at Habitat has a D100 housing. Have a great trip.
