A quick summary of the week:

Stayed at Caribbean Court. Liked it alot. Would stay there again.

Dove with Photo Tours. Very good people to dive with. Would definitely use them again.

Visibility was pretty poor. Lots of particulate matter in the water. Made taking photos a challenge.

Had a dive video taped by a guy named Hendrik. Would absolutely recommend his services. You can find him at the Photo Tours dive store downtown. The quality of the video is amazing. Far better than I expected.

Decided we should go through the Park this trip after skipping it last time. Glad we did it, but would not do it again. Once was enough.

Special thanks to Bas. You helped make our trip more enjoyable!

These pictures were taken with an Olympus 4040 digital camera in an Olympus PT-010 housing. No external strobe was used.

Nice shots Greg, I was using the same setup. Did you photoshop some of these?

Beautiful pictures, Greg. Feels like I'm right there too. Thanks for posting them for us! :-)

Windjammer mast is coated with growth? Do you just identify it by the shape?

greg, fantastic pics...where did you see the turtle?

Niki -

The mast is heavily encrusted. I can't really describe it, but if you saw it you would easily know what it is. It is long and round.

Cynde -

We saw turtles at Karpata and the Salt Pier.

Greg, What a nice way to end my day!!! Thanks for sharing the beautiful pictures!!!!

Some of the best pics I've seen on BT Greg! You made my day too! I want to see a sea horse so much, but I don't dive. I hope to see one snorkeling someday though.

Here we are on the webcam from Thursday:

Loved your pictures, Gregg, masha danke for sharing! Seahorses and turtles are my favorite.

Gregg,
Great Pictures. Thanks for sharing. Bas is a great guy, he showed us around the island also.

Beautiful shots Gregg... thanks for posting.

Gorgeous colors and shots, Greg! Thanks ever so much for letting us in on your trip....oh, no...the PBD is coming back again....well, I will just simply have to save these shots and look at them over and over again....absolutely beautiful pics. Carole

Greg,

Great shots. I am going back to Bonaire in November/December. Pictures like yours are getting me more excited every day.

Mike

Greg,

Your pictures are awesome!

I have a C3000 and the same housing, but mine didn't turn out nearly as well. It must be the photographer

Thanks for sharing!

Mike, keep your eyes open on this board if you're going to be in Bon Nov/Dec.. me too! I'll be putting together a BTalkers party while there...probably Dec 3 or so......

Mercy, Make that party an or so!!! Please!!!! Joann and I will be arriving on Saturday the 7th of December and would love to attend!!!!

Mercy and Mike ...we will be in Bonaire from Nov to Dec 1st any chance of making it a little earlier?

Greg...great shots...I especially love the turle colors and markings.....

After reading the above times of other arrivals...can we have two? The early and later arrivals.... I'm a great cook....

Am back from a week from ^%$$. (Camp for my 6th graders plus massive work)..but AHHH..TGIS!!

Meryl, I know Mercy arrives the 29th I think so doubt she can swing it that night..although it's just a dinner..and she is not cooking?? LOL..I am game..I am busy the 30 and 1st.

Annie

Meryl - works dandy for me :-)

Jake

Greg- GREAT photos! You were obviously able to overcome the particle problem. Thanks for sharing. I just returned and these make me long for just one more dive . . . .
