Hi all..just wanted to pass along the info from Mark Stanton of Diversdown..I e-mailed him about when Bonaire would be on the show...this is what he told me...."Look for it Sunday May18th at 9:00; Wed may 21 at 3:00pm and Friday May23 at 8:30. A second program from Bonaire will follow, maybe even the following week".

Marianne - I'm chuckling at the irony - we'll be on island from the 12th - 23rd ....without a TV!
Guess we'll just have to tough it - life imitating art.

heavy sigh...

Anthony,

Like many, I've been looking forward to seeing Bonaire on Diver's Down for a while. I can only feel so sorry for you since reruns of Divers Down are much easier to come by than trips to the real thing.
Have a great trip!!!!!

Just got word from Mark Stanton. The first Bonaire episode will air on NESN:

Sunday May 18 - 9:00 pm
Wednesday May 21 - 3:00 pm
Friday May 23 - 8:00 pm

You need to either be in the northeast and get NESN on cable or satellite, or have some satellite subscription that allows you to get NESN in other parts of the country.

If you're unable to get NESN, you can buy tapes from Mark (www.diversdowntv.com).

Jake, You are now a TV star!!!! Not too bad for your first TV appearance!! :-)
I just finished watching and Mark did a beautiful job!!!! It was so nice to see all my favorite sites in Bonaire both on land and in the sea. I can't wait for the next one!! Does anyone have the inside scoop of when the 2nd Bonaire show will air?

So, what did I say? (or was I simply a studly dive model) ;-)

Jake

Jake,You were on twice. One of the shots you were a studly dive model on the boat for just a brief moment and the next shot you were in was coming up the ladder and did the intro to the commercial. I think there was a picture of you underwater taking a picture but, I am not sure on that one cause all those wet suits look alike to me.:-)

Hey Jake you star of TV! We were in Boston this weekend for our daughter's graduation but before leaving set the VCR so we could tape Diver's Down. Did not want to wait for the replay later this week! And we sat down to watch it within half an hour of getting home -- just could not wait to see all of our favorite spots. It was so much fun to see you in the shots Darlene described! Congrats on your debut -- an Emmy award performance!
Susan

Jake, your Volos were hard to miss... :-) You definitely got more than your 15 seconds of fame!

And it's pretty clear that Mark had a definite case of PBD before they even left the island... When we ran into the Stantons the beginning of May, Jill said she definitely wants to go back, too!

By the way, did anyone else notice the nice credit to bonairewebcams.com, Jake Richter and the people of Bonaire in the graphics at the very end? Dan missed it the first time through -- had to rewind to show it to him...

Faith
