The Confidence was sunk off Harbor View last August if I recall correctly, though not by permit.

Igor and Martin.......I win I win.....will be there from Jan 14-28 and It sure looks like a dive I'd like to make. I take it that it's a boat dive only?

Thanks
Joe

Well as long as u 2 leave it where it is, it's fine by me :-)
I think there was a thread somewhere about the wreck and how 2 get 2 it. I'll go and locate it.

Martin, looks like we're going 2 miss u on Bonaire, unless u're going twice the coming year... :-)

Igor, I doubt it. If we go, it will NOT be in June...

Martin, not June? But we make good dive buddies, with our force fins and torches. We'll miss you terribly. Shall I cheat on you and dive with Igor? -Niki

I know, sorry... :-( But we'll be on island April 1-st until april 17-th, so June is to early... You may cheat and dive with Igor.

Igor, take care of Niki, she is a nice lady and a personal friend of me, so be nice to her...

I dove this site in September. It is directly in front of the Harbour Village resort. Typically when Harbour Village guests dive their house reef you descend in front of the resort and then follow a cable on the bottom across the mouth of the harbour to the house reef. The wreck is in front of the hotel just before you get to the cable that takes you to the house reef. It is between the Harbour Village restaurant on the beach and their dive shop. It is very close to shore in about 40 - 60 feet.

Carole, strangely enough, we are both shifting later than usual, arriving June 13! LOL! We can do Gibi's together... Don't be trying to get on our flight.... !

Igor, yep, we'll give it a go. :-)
Martin and Angela can tell Igor and Cinthie that diving at Niki and Bob's is good for the non-diver, if there is one... A lovely place to shore it.
Now, we just have to wait about 6 months.... Boo Hoo. :-(

Niki, Good deal! It's the Karma, I guess! LOL. Sounds like a plan to me. Six months will go very quickly, have no fear, my dear!!

Staying at Sorobon again for the whole trip or part of it? We'll be at the Divi one week (1st) and then to a house up in Santa Barbara for the second week....yippee! Splurging this year....why not, you only go around once, right?! Hi to Bob from me and Joe. Ayo. Carole
