Latest "Sport Diver" magazine yields laugh...

[RJP]

An article on Bonaire diving starts with "We set out to see hiw many dives one diver can do in a week in Bonaire..." but we find out at the end of the article that the author managed to shoehorn a whopping EIGHTEEN dives into a week of diving in Bonaire.

:shocked2:

Dude, that's like 3 dives a day - whoa! Don't know if we'll be able to top that.....

That's pretty funny.....some of us do eighteen dives in a weekend locally.

I think that was OP's point from the get go.

Last time there my buddy and I did 32 dives in six days... and we missed out on two or three. :d

We have friends whose first trip was to Bonaire this past Christmas. In 2 weeks they did a whopping 11 dives...7 of those were on their house reef, with the other 4 at Klein!

11? 11? What the . . .? Was someone sick? Weather and conditions bad?

Unless you're counting OW dives with students, I can't imagine why anybody would want to do 9 dives/day for two days.

You guys crack me up. Diving is only one of the reasons many of us take dive vacations. Some of you make it sound like people getting less bottom time than you are doing it wrong. In the same spirit I could probably poke fun at you for only spending a week at a time on Bonaire. (Whoops, I think I just did it.)

We're happy to just dive 2 or 3 dives a day. The rest of our time is spent enjoying a good book by the sea, picnicking at Nukove, exploring Washington Slagbaai park (the morning view from Mount Brandaris is amazing), and enjoying daily sunset BBQs over cocktails with good friends. Kayaking the mangroves, caving, sport fishing, and sunset dinner cruise on the Samur are still on our Bonaire bucket list. The implication that some of us are missing out by only doing a few dives a day is silly.

We laugh at you laughing at us. :chuckle:
