Bonaire in a week - conditions?

PS, what effect would a catastrophic camera flood have on an SD card? Does anyone know?

Fresh water? No big deal, wash it off, let it dry (as long as you did not get any nasty battery chemicals on it). You can easily simulate this by leaving it in your pocket on laundry day. Done it many times...

Salt water? It's toast. Only done that once...

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!

i only travel with an iPad now. I use to carry a small computer but stopped a few trips ago. I don't know about a flood but two trips ago my case leaked enough that it ruined the camera but the battery and card survived!

And I do use multiple cards so all would not be lost.

Thanks Guys. Is there a place here to buy or rent one here in Bonaire? Sounds like a good idea.

I bought one @ Dive Friends Yellow Sub location about 6 wks ago. Their Dive Inn location also carried them, around $13.
