Hi all,

in Feb-March 2002 we will be visiting Bonaire for 5 weeks. During that time we are planning to dive and film some of the more adventerous dives.

All information on any of the following dive sites is very welcome (or others that fall in the same category):

Baby Beach
Boca Bartol North
Boca Spelonk
La Dania's Leap
Rappel
Playa Bengé
The Chains Of Red Slave
The "Cooper's Barge"
The Third Anchor Of Karpata
The "Windjammer"

Or if someone is willing to join us on some, even better.

(-: Local guidance will be rewarded with some or all of the following: beer, single malt whiskey (Walt ???), copious meals, ....

Ciao,

Peter

PS. please do not turn this into another "deep diving discussion".

Peter I see you found the Strange and Weird Dive Sites of Bonaire Web Site. I have one or two to add.

1. The 4 anchors of BOPEC 110ft. to 200+ft. "Tri-mix Dive"

2. I don't know what to call this one other than the second drop off at the Windjammer. Very strange geological formation, hope the Pictures turn out 320 to 350ft+. "Advanced Tri-mix Dive"

As for the Chains of Red Slave they are definitely a Tri-mix Dive over 200ft.

The Windjammer could be done as a Nitrox or air dive to its shallower Port rail. It is best done on Tri-mix.

The others could be done on air or Nitrox.

Look me up when you get on Island and I'll see what we can do for you. Or send me an e-mail.

Hi Walt,

I'll send you an e-mail over the weekend. I'm currently on site at the customer and I don't have access to my regular e-mail.

Peter
