John B says: "If you follow the rope out from the pier to the reef, you will find a bottle marker we left with all of our names on it." See Bel-Mar etc. discussion thread.

PLEASE PLEASE, say this is just a joke!

Jerry, are you talking to John B or to me?

What I mean is: Do you want it to be a joke that I would object to littering and graffiti on the reef, or a joke that someone actually left such a thing?

Nikki, your point is well taken and you are indeed on the right track. I don't think that too many of our visitors would follow suit and leave a calling card for those that follow, but in case any one is of the mind to do so...please...make a donation to the Marine Park or the Klein Bonarie foundation as a way for Bonaire to remember you!

I realy don't like to here about divers doing things like that. But, look at Paris Frace, talk about going nuts with graffiti. We can make a mess just about anyplace.

I checked with the dive shop concerned and they informed me that this "grafitti" was actually a bottle attached by string to the mooring block.

Thanks for that reassurance, Steve. And the clarification of Jerry's comment too. I just found myself remembering all the beautiful natural places I have visited and the number of times I found Kilroy Was Here type stuff. I somehow believe that Bonaire's Marine Park will be treasured by divers in a responsible way. And I'm relieved that the bottle was not permanent.
