Sharks seem to be exceptional on Bonaire. Does anybody have an idea why? There seems to be enough fish.

I have seen black tips on the north dive sites and a huge nurse shark on Klein complete with two remoras.

Well, I've done the Internet search, only a very few sightings. I've found no photos of sharks taken on Bonaire whatsoever. We have been diving on Bonaire twice, no sharks. Next trip is in 2 weeks, so I'm looking for some tips to find them.

Excellent Roger, looking at the colours you were in shallow waters? We will be trying to find him again!

I've got a question. I'm not disputing anyone, but was that a "real" picture of the shark? It looks to me as though the shark is out of proportion to the vegetation he's swimming in front of. Or it just might be me. Either way it's a great photo!!!

I would also be curious as to the real deal on this photo. It could be easily done with PS. Im not disputing either but have a little doubt.

Sharks in Bonaire Waters?

We've seen sharks by Andrea as well as on the East side.

When I went out with Larry on Wildside Bonaire I was lucky enough to see 2 reef sharks. The divemaster also saw a nurse shark the week before. If you are interested in sharks, your best bet would be to try Larry's: http://www.larryswildsidediving.com

I've moved the thread on the "realness" of the shark image to Bonaire Photography & Videography: "Realness" of Digital Images .

I am looking for a Dive Buddy. I am arriving Bonaire September 11, 2004 and departing a week later. I am staying at Don's Habitat and have 6 boat dives scheduled. I will have a pick up truck rented and want to do some shore diving. I am Advanced (about 70 dives in 2 years)and will soon go for Search & Rescue Certification. This week, was just certified in Adult, Child, Infant First Aid, CPR and AED (Automatic External Defibulator). Anyway, enough of that, I will also have a new camera C5050 Olympus with casing etc.. and will try taking pictures during my shore dives. Any takers (dive buddies) out there during this time period that want to watch me fumble with my camera?
