First day in Bonaire

[Maine Diver]

Today was my last day of diving. We did a 7:00 AM dive at Sand Dollar. We were greeted by cloouds of fish, little current, and best of all a small turtle. Back in the water for a solo, shallow dive, while my cousin snorkelled above me, I saw a good sixed turtle. Then suddenly, in 30' of water, an eagle ray appeared. I swam with him snapping pictures for quite a while. Boy, did I burn some air! A great ending dive to a great trip. Tomorrow we snorkel. I just can't get enough of the Bonaire waters. I will be back.

Full trip report will come. Thanks for all the support, advise and good wishes.

Can't wait to read your full report, but your little snippets were super cool along the way.

I love the Lake! One of my favorites! And nothing ripped off or broken into! WOW you're a lucky diver!

Sounds like an awesome trip. We return to Bonaire third week of April. Can't wait!!!

Sadly, I am back at work. Dreams of Bonaire are in my head. I'm addicted. Already I am thinking of my return.

That would be termed PBD (an incurable disease!)

Perhaps this will help. I have it on 2 second refresh on my desktop all the time.

Oh no, you're in trouble now!! PBD is only curable by booking your next trip! Welcome to the club full of Bonaire addicts.

I agree, after suffering from PBD for almost 10 weeks we finally booked our June trip. Not sure it is a cure as much as a relief from the symptoms.

Unfortunately time now seems to have slowed significantly...apparently yet another side effect of PBD.

Vino, you're right....booking another trip isn't a "cure", it's more of a temporary treatment...and yes, time slowdown is a huge side effect.
