Trip Report BONAIRE TRIP REPORT & PIX

Interesting that the toxicity for turtles was also mentioned. I hope we hear more about this following the sharpnose puffer explosion in Bonaire

I was in Aruba last week and noticed a ton of sharpnose puffers (alive) as well - way more than I’ve seen in numerous trips over the last few years.

Ken—cool photo of the spawning tube sponge!

That was fun . I've seen stuff like that before so knew what it was.

Thanks for the report!

Nice report. Like your 'River of Fish' as that describes the Parade of Wrasse perfectly!

For some reason the Trip Report link isn't working for me... The slideshow works!

Nice report from the OP, as well as pics. Thanks!

The web address (URL) has non-standard characters in it...which is bad form. But, the more likely reason NW Dive Dawg is not able to view it is that many browsers are set by their users (or by default) to no longer load non-https:// URLs for "security" reasons. Users may not know that their browser is set this way...but the page won't load.

Try this one. I just added the little "s" in the first part of the address:

Good luck!

We really enjoy going to Bonaire and this year was no exception, even though there were a few wrinkles during the trip. Despite that, it seems like a good time was had by all. Here's what happened and what we saw:

The only wrinkle that I disagree on: They never have closed any dive sights except the ones North of Karpata. All the rest have always been open.
