This is really after the event, but it's been bothering me. When diving at Red Slave, I think it was on June 11 (dive log not here), we got out of the water at about 11 a.m. and saw what looked like a snorkeler in the deep blue water about 50 yds offshore. We watched, and waited until all divers of vehicles parked there had exited and been accounted for. There was a small group of people looking too, and as far as we could tell, there was just one person (or animal?) with orange and yellow (No one had binoculars) drifting/swimming north. Then after about 30 minutes or so, it was gone from view. Does anyone know what this could have been or has anyone heard anything?

we have seen local fisherman fishing while snorkeling where you are talking about. Not spear fishing but line fishing.

Or perhaps 'Bonaire brights' for the same honor.

Suzanne...we saw the same person at Sweet Dreams around that date. I looked at my dive buddy and said... "I bet that is Bud."

Dan, mesobenthic means those who live on/near the bottom in medium depths, typically 200-1000m. I suspect Bud is referring to somewhat shallower.
