Hi Lou,

I've been diving with Photo Tours for a couple of years, and I think it's a great dive operation. They have merged with Yellow Submarine and that is how Dive friends Bonaire was born.

Lou,

My wife and I just got back from Bonaire and diving with Photo Tours. They have indeed merged with Yellow Submarine, and although I booked my package with PT at the Caribbean Court location, we would stop by the YS dock on all dives to Klein or the north to pick up the YS divers in order to fill the boat (8 peeps). One thing I can say, regardless of the name, the folks at YS/PT are pros and treat people with both respect and care. We dove with Yan, Marcus,Hcher (no idea how he spells the noise that he says is his name :-) and Gee. All were a delight and to say that a full boat of 8 was a crowd would be silly as many of the operators will have many more on board. I will continue to use this group as they are quite good.

John, the guy's name is Ger (short for Gerard or Gerald). Soon the faces of the entire staff will appear at the website.

Thanks Jan,

I hope it wasn't perceived as offensive. I just had no idea how spell "whisker's" name. Can't wait to come back and do some more diving [:]o with you all. Take care, and a big hello to you, and say Hi to Karin for us as well.

We'll see you at Lac Cai next year maybe, to see the front end of that giant green moray!

John and Liz

I think that another good point of this operation is that you can pick up tanks at the CC location and drop them off at the YS location. My wife and I took our adv class with them and they were all very nice and helpful.
