One does not fly anywhere from where we live, unless it's in a Medivac.

...and I am packed.....sort of at least. I hate to rush into things.... Closing up the shop this morning. Tomorrow is travel day 1 for us.

Hey, I brought the gear in from the storage room, and charged batteries. I still have a couple of days to do this packing thing....

Yup. Last time they just had a clipboard listing everyone on the incoming flight. Theyd check you off, and get you to the shuttle. They have less paperwork to handle that way, while greeting arrivals.

An alternative I have seen used on Bonaire when a diver only owns closed heel fins is to wear good sandals for the Entry and Exits. The sandals can be stowed on or in your rig while diving.

Actual packing will probably be completed at @ this time, one week from now. Our adventures tend to start @24 hours ahead of others, as its @3 hours of driving from here to any place really nice, or that you can fly to direct.

I actually did a bit of that "packing" thing today, myself. Checked and charged several batteries, double checked my own folding walking stick for the entries/exits, checked meds, updated and printed logbook pages, and generally began to think about packing a bit more seriously.

It looks like he may have stepped on a Lego.

Packed? :shocked: I thought about it over the weekend. Does that count?

I count two weeks from today until our first boat dives!

I love entering the water long before other divers, in full dark, and then watching the reef "awake" for the day as the sun rises. It's fun seeing the look of surprise on the faces of early divers, as I exit at the time they assume they are the first divers of the day!;)

I have logged many more night dives on Bonaire than in all other dive destinations, together. More Solo dives More Dawn Solo dives Heck, probably almost as many dives, period, on Bonaire as total elswehere. That last is not quite true, but it sure seems like it, we have been to Bonaire so many...

Don'need no DEET on a night :scubadiver: ......

:no: Dinner 🍲 Night dive :scubadiver: then :beerchug:

Remember your bug spray of choice. Ankle biting vermin appear near sunset, just as one is settling down to enjoy dinner and possibly :beerchug:

14 years straight, until Covid. We sold our place there during the shutdown. The coming SB Bonaire Invasion in @25 days will be our first return in roughly 3 years now. We miss Bonaire, and the freedom that Bonaire shore diving represents.

Come on folks. This is Bonaire, the home of just grab tanks and go. Pony bottle? Fill it yourself from an extra AL80. I have done literally hundreds of solo dives on Bonaire, without ever involving any dive ops. No one asks unless you make it their business Solo night dives, pre-dawn solos...

Eh, that whole diving thing will never catch on anyway. I saw the TV show. Too many knife fights and slashed hoses. That other guy in the red barret had a show on the tube too, but he was just chasing fish around, what fun is that?! :gas: :beerchug:

I'm still pretty in the Red fish, Blue fish stage of critter ID..... I'd hoped that it might be more than just the Rum. There is also this under water, bubble blowing thing which we have shared a few times...although the Rum..... mmmmmm...Rum...
