Those Northern sites( Candy Land,etc..) are some of my favorites and worth the time and hassle..pack a lunch and relax a bit.
Anyone interested in being my dive buddy for 12 nights in Bonnaire unlimited free air tanks (7 nights Captain Don & 5 at Divi)
I've already paid for but put off as my dive buddy bailed.... and airfare is $1k from NY --- So I'd only go if you are someone that's a very experienced diver -- prefer instructor actually.... as this would mostly be shore diving. No smokers, heavy drinkers/drugs (aka: shouldn't be diving if you are anyway), thief's or bull****ters which will say they know something but do not - as those kinds of people put others at risk; if you don't know it - chances are I don't either - safety is key as I'd like to come back to eat and dive again. However, you might not like that I hate to put the air/conditioner on - if I have to it would only be low (as I hate to get a head cold and ruin my dive day).
If you are possibly interested let me know where your from and what kind of dive experience you have. I'm easy going on all things except the above. I'm not someone that has to be tied to your hip during or after the dive either...as I've been on plenty of vacations by myself. However, I figured why not see what kind of responses I get back as I'd be going in June.
I am a female diver for 14+ yrs rescue diver with some intro to cave - but I certainly could always use more training... so I'd even consider a board/dive vs training deal or you can pay the 1/2 of what I paid for the hotels which is actually very good rates...

Lisa,
I know I've seen the tire inflator's on the island. I think Buddy Dive had them. They aren't as beefy as T.C.'s picture but they're only about $12 if I recall correctly.

Thanks boat,
Headed there first thing am weather permitting so will just have to keep our fingers crossed! Did take a look at the tires on the truck and they look almost new so I am hopeful.
Four wonderful dives today. Finished the day at Karpata. A huge ray was at the exit point at about 20 feet. Just laid there while we swam all around him. Got some great photos!

Did Playa Frans today. First time diving there. The coral even at depth is beat up. We drove by Candyland and Nukove (sp) and wish we hadnt. We have been here a week, with 3 days left to go. Diving has overall been great, water temps around 77-78 degrees. Some surge down at the south end, bailed on Red Slave as the surge seemed a bit much.

Well, I'd be interested.
So you leave all your pictures on the card until you're back? Aren't you worried about losing them? I guess I'm just overly cautious, I download and backup my pictures to three storage devices (computer, hard disk, and SD card) every night. And the SD card with all the pics flies back in my pocket.
Sounds like an awesome dive, though. Thanks for letting us not lucky enough to be there share in your trip!
PS, what effect would a catastrophic camera flood have on an SD card? Does anyone know?
