Bas told me of a site just north of BOPEC that is marked with a stick and an inner tube. Does anyone know what the name of this site is? It was a great site. We called it "Candyland" because all of the massive boulder coral looked like gumdrops as you look up the reef. We would like to call it by it's correct name though. Thanks!

Bas, I completely agree with you. I actually did just as you said because I noticed the coral in the shallow areas as you said. It is especially important in that shallow type of water to take such precautions. Thanks for telling me about the site, but it certainly should only be told to people willing to go that extra mile to protect the reef!

Bas, I also wanted to say that I wanted to thank you for your invitation to dive with you, and that I was sorry that I never got to. I had family with me and was never able to get away from them. If it's OK I'll still call the site Candyland and maybe next time I'm there (hopefully in January) I'll call you and we can do Taylor Made.

The markers at this site have been removed. There really is not a suitable entry that will protect the corals. If you wish to dive this area please go to Taylor Made. You can get details on this site using Jessie Armacost book, "Bonaire Diving Made Easy". This book is a "MUST HAVE" if you are shore diving Bonaire.
