After visiting Bonaire last year in April and falling in love with it, we want to come back this year.

I am wondering about those Sea Wasps too. I am visiting in September and planning lots of night dives. Should I plan to wear something on my head?

Dan, I was there last September and there was only one night that the sea wasps were there and Renee from the Woodwind came and let us know they were there. From what I understand they are not a huge problem in Bonaire.

Glad to know that sea wasps arent too much of a problem. I would still like to find out what the diving, weather and wind are like in July if anyone knows.

What part of England? My son-in-law is from Burton on Trent!

We live about 20 miles from Lincoln - where our son is at University. We are probably about 60 miles away from Burton on trent.

Dan, I think that Toucan takes divers to the East Coast.. ?????? Lots of question marks here, as my info could be wrong and I don't want to get into trouble!...
|
By Dan Goff on Tuesday, June 25, 2002 - 3:04 pm: |
Thank you, Sarah. I am diving with Toucan when I visit in September so I will let you know. I have heard there are giant sponges and big fish on the East coast, but of course, I want to go down with a professional.

Dan, is this your first time? Yes, the East Coast scares the h*** out of me!...

I am going to Bonaire in mid-July for my first diving trip. I have read some of the postings regarding the conditions during July which sound great! I also stumbled across some information that referred to an upswell of colder waters, usually during July, from deeper waters that can cause a temporary drop in water temperature and a significant drop in visibility. This is reported to last anywhere from a couple of days to a couple of weeks. Does anyone know of any occurrences of this sort? Unfortunately, I tend to have bad luck with the weather on vacations and hope this won't be another similar situation.

you may be in luck...if there is/was an upswell i think it happened early june - something pretty close to what you described...then it would surely be gone in time for your visit...
