Hi All, just returned from Bonaire yesterday. There is a new wreck to dive. It is the "Our Confidence" on the north side of the inlet at Harbor Village Marina. It seems that the boat went down under somewhat mysterious circumstances, but I will let someone more informed than I elaborate on that.

We got to the wreck by parking in the lot by Bongo's and walking across the beach and entering the water there. We snorkeled to the point, roughly in front of Wannadive and descended to fifty feet. The wreck materializes after about a three minute swim at 50 feet.

Not a lot to see yet; small fish are moving in. The wreck doesn't look like it is totally stable yet but it was a fun dive.

I have some photos if I can figure out how to attach them. (silly new member)

Jeff

Didn't the Hilma Hooker sink among somewhat "mysterious" circumstances as well?

Someone please tell the story of that one.
