We will be returning to Bonaire in mid June. Is the Marine Park dive tag we purchased last July still valid or do we have to purchase a new one for this year?

The Marine Park Tag is good for one Calendar year.

So, if I buy a tag on 1 December, I get a month's free diving!!! And someone said there are no bargains on Bonaire!!!

Jack, nice interview on OLN!

By Jack Chalk on Tuesday, April 23, 2002 - 12:09 pm: |
Thanks Darlene, haven't even seen the first episode myself yet. We don't get OLN here and my copies of the episodes have not made it to the island yet.

Bonaire Looks Great on OLN too, I hope not too Great though. We don't want it to get too crowded.

Joe and I snorkel (proudly), too, and buy the tags every year to support the Marine Park and to collect them in ths same manner Darlene does...they are colorful and serve a purpose. Anything to help out the cause....we all want the waters to remain beauftiful and as "protected" as possible.

Jack, great job. Walt too. Over all, the shows have really shown off Bonaire. Maybe a few airline execs were watching.

I have to wonder how much the orientation helps, especially people who have beeen visiting the island for years. I think after a certain point the divers are gonna do what they do period.

You'll always find folks who believe rules don't apply to them. The briefings, DO help, though. Jack does particularly good briefings, in my opinion. His passion for Bonaire and its marine environment comes across well.

And, if you look carefully, you can almost always find a dead spot on the coral where a finger or hand can be placed for stabilization without doing damage to living coral.

Oh don't get me wrong, my gloves are always in my pocket, rules be damned, and in a rough surf and lines and ladders they are indispensible to getting out safe, I understand about dead spots in coral, use 'em all the time. This girl had both hands firmly grasping a dead looking coral head, it seemed a bit much to me, there might be SOMETHING alive on it somewhere.
