Where is THE ROCK and how do I know it when I find it?

Just drive south from the Invisibles and look for a sandy spot on the beach. There is an obvious, though small, sand beach at that area. At least yesterday, someone had also placed a rock or two near the road to mark the spot. Probably the easiest entry available on the south end.

The book Bonaire Shore Diving Made Easy by Susan Porter has a great description of how to find this dive site - along with many others - great book! A must have for shore diving Bonaire. It's available at all the dive shops and also online at www.bsdme.info

I second that. The book is a must have for Bonaire. I noticed that Bruce has a couple for sale in his dive shop next door to the Divi at Carib Inn if you need one.

Is it that difficult to explain to Richard where the rock is?

I park at the concrete block just alongside the road just above the sandy area. I use my truck as a mark to swim out on the surface, bypass the first reef and drop in on the rock.

Thanks Susan! Looks like your the only one that knows out of all these post!

Thats because Susan wrote "The Book".. Terry you are more annoying than you are diving LOL...JMHO
|
By Alex (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #457) on Saturday, March 8, 2008 - 2:07 am: |
That's "The Book" you speak so poorly of, two threads up. And there you go accusing people again, saying some people are writing "just to increase their numbers" - I can't believe anybody would even think about that, let alone write that about others on this board. You seem to be posting a lot yourself, Terry, the main objective seemingly being not making any friends. Did you take your meds?

Alex, Well, you did it! You played right into Terry's hand! He has got you riled! We are dealing with a 47 year old child! Don't play his game, just act as if he wasn't there! He will soon go away... Ron

Okay. My interest is totally peaked. Susan, we've got The Book (and we love it and have used it so much it's starting to look like we dive in Bonaire weekly). We're diving the Rock when we're there in a few weeks.
|
By Alex (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #461) on Saturday, March 8, 2008 - 2:09 pm: |
Hey Ron, I know, but I just had do defend Susan and her book - she probably won't do it herself, to her credit. And I'm not that riled, don't worry. And you might be right, he seems to have gone away, or maybe he's diving or got his typing finger stuck somewhere appropriate - maybe both at the same time?

Alex, we can only hope

By Alex (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #467) on Saturday, March 8, 2008 - 3:40 pm: |
Hope? That's not nice! I'm worried!

Got out of bed early 5 am (couldn't sleep - no sweet dreams)(probably from still being worried about the man with the stuck finger), which woke Danielle, gave her your message and she went to sleep right away again. Must be the way I said it...
|
By Alex (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #475) on Sunday, March 9, 2008 - 2:42 am: |
Terry, glad you emerged. How's the finger? If it's not too bad, you could go over to the "The Book" thread and type your apology to Susan.
|
By Sue from NJ (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #748) on Sunday, March 9, 2008 - 10:51 pm: |
Susan - good to have seen you a few weeks ago! We've been home 14 days home & no dengue, so sounds like I'm in the clear despite all the bits.

Alex I did see one diver swimming in circles, I wonder?? One positive thing is I will probably do the Rock this week as it's a site I never thought about before.
|
By Sue from NJ (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #750) on Monday, March 10, 2008 - 2:14 pm: |
just watch your depth at the Rock. The sand slopes off quite deceptively. I was following a fish on the back side and next thing I knew, I was at 104 feet.

By Alex (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #492) on Monday, March 10, 2008 - 2:20 pm: |
Enjoy the dive, Brian, and make sure you don't collide with anyone still cirkeling there...
