I've been scouring these boards looking for Canadians without much success. C'mon, I know you're lurking here somewhere - stand up and wave your flag!

Hello Deb and Michel! (Of course many Ontarians consider Quebec part of Canada!) My husband and I are planning to go next year. Bonaire looks like such a wonderful island!

Have you all considered having one or more Canadian BonaireTalk dinners? :-)

Tks for suggestion, but Toronto (40 minutes from me) and Montreal (5.5 hours from me) are a loooong ways apart. I fly to Mtl on business. but Lisa, would love to meet you. Erica loves pugs. We were breeders of Golden Retreivers for 15 years.

BTW, I love your quote Eileen, who is Trooper?
|
By Eileen Kimmett (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #1781) on Sunday, June 15, 2003 - 11:24 am: |
Seb, we could get a group together to go diving here in Ontario perhaps in late summer or fall. (We have many weddings in July to go to ). Trooper is a rock band, and I think they are Canadian (not entirely sure) and the quote is from a song that came out I think in the 70's.

Our friends that have been coming to Bonaire since 1980's are from Vancouver Island.

Thanks everyone for your responses. Lisa, Michel, Eileen, and me : it appears the "eh" list (Thanks Seb!) is pretty small. Eileen, we might be interested in a local dive this summer. I say might - we've been diving for 12 years or so and never done freshwater. Did our checkouts in Cozumel, got spoiled by all the beauty in the Caribbean, never felt compelled to dive up here. The trouble with that, however, is that we can only do one Caribbean trip a year so I always feel rusty and a bit nervous when I do my first few dives. It would be smart to do a few local dives each year. Anyway, let me know if you are planning an event!

Deb, I feel the same about canadian diving. My last dive here was three years ago in Mephremagog lake. Brown fishes swimming in ice cold water, with muddy bottom and a few algae are not my idea of the perfect dive. A few sites seem to be interesting here up north: the St-Lawrence on the Quebec north coast, and the BC coast. However, I still prefer diving with a 2 mm wet suit than with a dry suit with hood, gloves, scarf, etc.

P.S. For those of you going to Bonaire for the first time or anyone interested, I have posted

OK, Deb, I'll keep you posted! I know it will not be July - busy month!

Hi Lorraine,

By Lorraine Bayford (BonaireTalker - Post #12) on Wednesday, June 18, 2003 - 10:21 am: |
Hi Lisa, yes diving B.C. waters have some of the best marine life in the world. Unfortunately, I'm 500 miles north/east so don't get there are often as I would like. Our interior lakes are cold, dark and nothing to see but is (in my opinion) the best place for a student to learn. If you learn in the worst place then you will feel comfortable

Hello fellow Canucks! Have only had time to lurk occasionally since our last trip, but wanted to let you know we're still here, just too busy! Maybe we'll have more time soon and will be able to participate on the board a bit more. We are looking forward to Christmas and New Years in Bonaire again.
