[h=2]Bonaire Says Goodbye to Yet Another Diving Pioneer, Ebo Domacasse[/h]It is with great sadness that we report the passing of another Bonaire diving pioneer, Ebo Domacasse, who passed away last evening.
Ebo was a member of the elite group of locals who originally worked within the fledgling dive industry on Bonaire, and many old-timers to the island will remember him well. Ebo was a favorite dive guide, working side-by-side with Bas Marin, and, of course, Captain Don, who was operating the first Aquaventure dive shop back in 1973. Diving was in its infancy back then, and these gentlemen brought it the forefront of Bonaires tourism.
As thanks for his many efforts, two dive sites were named after Ebo, and many divers for years have enjoyed Ebos Reef and Ebos Special/Jerrys Jam, both located on Klein Bonaire.
One of Ebos sons, Herbert, grew up to become one of Bonaires Lt. Governors, while another son, Jopie, followed in his footsteps, working within the islands dive industry for many years.
