Good Morning/Afternoon all,
it's still quite on BT. Thanks 4 the sunsets Cynde & Annie. They made the dark & cold morning look a little better...
Here's the sunrise of 2day.

First fish of the day...

Uhhhhmmm.... MayDay... MayDay...

Pfffff, they're all right!

Igor,

Are they really O.K., or did they bury the body behind the mooring block? Maybe we better send Jake out to check.

don't these guys look like they are swimming in a horizontal column?

Here's one from earlier that got missed. Can't pass up a good fish pic.

Hi Everyone,
Some Visitors.

For all of you PBD sufferers who may have missed it... Jake has updated his 360 degree views and added a series along the downtown ocean front.

Check them out.... and thanks, Jake!

360 degree panoramics

Here's a couple of divers.

As usual, Jake has outdone himself. What a great idea. The view at Karel's on the pier, I'm sure I'm not the only with with fond memories of sitting there watching the sun set!

Wow I thought they were leaving.

Go toward the light!

jake, absolutely fantastic...although it has increased my PBD even greater...waaaaaaa!!!! June cannot come soon enough!

Cynde - How can you suffer from PBD when you already know when you're going back?

...oh, I get it... that would be PRE-Bonaire Depression.

michael, i was doing pretty good, but the water here is getting too cold, so i can't go for a quick fix...argh!

here are some divers...


this is cool looking...coming out of the clouds...

Cynde Lee,
That's a great shot!
Thanks

Cynde (Miss I Dive the Pacific Where the Water Never Actually Freezes) - Don't even get me started on the water temperature. Unless you're packing a dry suit, diving here in Iowa is done for the season. I know a few brave souls who try to get by with the 7mm wetsuit by pouring hot water into it right before they get in the water. Bunch of people that aren't quite right in the head if you ask me.
Michael

Thanks for the 360 degree alert Michael (I think). I don't know whether to hose down my gear and throw it around, mix a beverage, cook some sate, look at my vaction pix, cry, or do all at the same time.
Jake, great job! It looks like Linda and the kids on the street in front of the restaurants....
How about the 360BT competition - suggest a favorite 360 panorama location for Jake to do next, lucky winner gets to fly down and help out :-)

Ok, Michael, i know i am a whimp. When the water temps get to 55 degrees, I call it quits for the season...sigh...i know, i am a whimp...but come on, how cold could the water POSSIBLY get in Iowa???

Cynde - Come on out for the New Years Day ice dive and find out!

Good night everyone!



Looks like some divers showed up for the twilight dive... too bad they never showed up on the reef cam.

Some divers that were missed...
Could this be our Flamingo-divers?


I do think this are Margarite & James.

Hmmmm, I'm not sure.
Anybody else?????

That was them. That's right around the time they went for a dive here.

Jake

Thanks Jake.
Margarite would spank us 4 not capturing her...

For a minute there I thought she was going to flash us

Nope, she's just showing off her Marine Park tag to make us all jealous!

If she had, she would have us *and* James jealous
