Hi folks,
While I understand it is "not done" to point to ones 'commercial' interest (and would never do, if it hadn't something extraordinary) I do not want to withhold you a grandiose picture of a humpback whale made by Patrick Beijck two weeks ago while diving at Cai. www.wannadive.com click news. Incredible!

Holy smokes, Bart! How awesome is that?!?!?!?!

Can you arrange for another sighting in about 2 months?

LaDonna

Simply gorgeous!!!

On another happy note, I will be seeing you and your staff at the end of February!!

Bart, Thanks for sharing...simply beautiful.

Totally AWESOME!!!! Simply majestic and well, I could only hope someday to see one. Thank you so much for sharing with us, Bart!
P.S. I can't wait till my son comes home today and show him this pic! Will be on island soon and maybe, just maybe... you never know what the sea holds, that's the beauty of it and the reason Bonaire keeps calling us all back again and again.

Thanks Bart , what a nice surprise . Look forward to seeing you the end of March .

Groan!!!

I can't see the picture. I see the other pictures but not that one?

Not only is a humpback, it is also about the best picture of a humpback you will ever see! And! If you were there you too could have seen it while snorkeling.:-).
Mick

Oh man, that's incredible! Thanks for sharing!

That is the coolest Thanks so much for sharing a remarkable experience!!!!!!!!

Pretty cool, Is this the first sighting of of humpback off of Bonaire?
Talk about being in the right location at the right time..and of course the right week!

Wow, what an awesome experience! The photo is fantastic. Thanks for sharing it.

Totally awesome! What an amazing picture! Thanks for sharing that with us, Bart.

A small clarification to the story to give credit: The whale was actually spotted by my friend Inka after a guided dive at Cai. She works for Dive Friends. Her guests indeed did not believe it was a whale and thought it was a turned over boat untill they saw the tail. After that they saw Patrick and his group about to go in and pointed out the whale to Patrick. He indeed swam a record distance in record speed and made a SUPERB picture. Kudos!!!!

Bas.

Tom that sounds a bit - crabby. Maybe Humpy can do both. The last Humpback I can remember was reported in Bonaire was January 2007. We saw some huge splashes off Klein (from Capn Don's) and it was spotted later off (I think) off Pink Beach.

For you folks coming in September the Coral Spawning should be 18th to 24th Sept, we are not sure if we will be around for it this year.

big deal...

You wanna impress me...ride the sucker!:D LOL!

(sorry, Jerry sent me meds without a label)

WOW !! so how big is that whale????

and how far away were you to take the photo?

Way to go Bart & Patrick!!!!
