I made a request of Bas to do three dives. I contacted him through this website and he promptly responded through email. The three dives that I asked him to guide me on were:

Brent, Thanks for sharing. We're headed there in a month. How can I contact Bas?

I think you need a UV exciter for your strobe and a yellow filter for your camera to take photos that show the UV effect. It would be a complex operation because you would need to manage 2 lights, your mask filter, and the camera.

Elaine, you need a yellow filter on the camera lense and a UV exiter filter on the strobe.

Thanks Bas, but I can't take credit for the Sunfish. I almost never look out to the deep blue so I miss all the big stuff. It was my wife who found the Sunfish and brought it to my attention.

Just sent Bas an email. I so want to do the leap to Karpata. Never did it in all my trips.

I did the leap from la Dania's and made a drift snorkel with my wife and 8 yr old daughter to Karpata.

Gee, soon enough we'll need a new dive site honoring Bas... BTW, we are still trying to make it back in the spring of '09 and would like to do a couple UV dives with you.

That would be way too much honor Eric. I'm a relative newbie to Bonaire compared to some of the other Dive Masters and Instructors (then again compared to some others I'm quite the veteran...lol). I've been diving the Reefs of Bonaire since 2003 and living here since 2006...maybe by 2048 I deserve a named dive site ;-)
