The QUESTION:
Which one of the first 5 or 6 dive site south of SALT PIER have a tight group of three (3) tall tube sponges on the top edge of the reef drop-off, directly out from the moored dive boat?

The PRIZE:
My eternal gratitude!

The REASON:
Our 1st boat dive a couple weeks ago was scheduled for ALICE IN WONDERLAND. I didn't realize until after I got my pictures back, that I had a couple shots on the end of the roll (taken during the ride back) of people on the boat- with the salt pier in the background. Obviously we were well beyond ALICE IN WONDERLAND and south of SALT PIER. Unfortunatly (obviously), I wasn't paying attention to where the boat was, but I don't think we were beyond PINK BEACH. But since we've only dove PINK BEACH once before (in '99) from shore, I don't if we were there or not.
But I am fairly sure that this boat dive was at the site that we used the group of 3 tube sponges as our marker for return to the boat at the end of the dive.
Thanks,
Chet

My "guess" is Tori's Reef... across from the water intake for the Salt ponds.

Thanks Kelly and David, but I still hope somebody out there will recognize the site by the group of three tall tube sponges staight out from the mooring (and not need to guess). Kelly, my "guess" also is probably Tori's (but it could be Pink Beach), and David, I read the description of Invisibles in the "new Guide to the Bonaire Marine Park", and am 'fairly' sure that it wasn't Invisibles.
