Night Dive Splashdown Divers

[Scubakevdm]

Woohoo! Goin' Divin'

You sure did!
Whew! I'm pooped. Just toppin' off a few tanks to be ready for tomorrow, but I sure had fun today! Sorry if I kidnapped your stuff, especially Kelp Mermaid. It was an accident. I thought I was supposed to. Anyhoo... it was great seeing every one again, and meeting some new folks too! I especially liked the night dive, I may have gotten a good picture. I'll tell you in a few days. Hey! That vis was boomin' on the night dive... I watched a big ole amberjack swimming on the port side of the wreck and I'd have to guess that he was at least 70' away.There was also a pretty big barracuda gettin' cranky with us, a pretty big deer cowrie, a chocolate chip sea cucumber, and some awesome crabs. Someone said they saw a shark I think, but they might have been just jokin' around. Anyway, I really enjoyed it.
I think we should do one on Vickie's boat next!

What a fantastic time we had last night! The dive was wonderful, if a bit cold after two dives earlier in the day. I was just amazed by all the beautiful growth on the wreck- I was too busy looking at that to look for much in the way of fish. It's always so much fun hanging out with my fellow Conchers both on the boat & afterwards. We invaded Krista's place for a Conch party & I'm betting some of them are still at it! Sorry I wasn't the liveliest of guests, Krista- I can only plead exhaustion due to old age. As you can see, I made it home safely, in about 40 minutes- traffic is MUCH lighter late at night...

Oh, Kevin? I left a towel on the boat- very colorful Bonaire beach towel, if you could just put it aside for the next time I am up with you or, better yet, come down sometime soon for another beach dive at my house!

Very Awesome Dive! Whoo Hoo!
No current, no waves, good friends, awesome diving, what else could a person ask for?
Drinks after the dive? Yep!
Good buddies? Yep!
Beautiful colors on the wreck? Yep!
Conch Party? Yep!
Lotsa laughter? Yep!

The Conchs are the best! Our group was the first on the wreck after it was tied off. The phosphoessence (sp) hitting the line and our gear danced like Tinker Bell's wand. We saw a few nice size "Vicky Sharks" as soon as we got on the wreck, also a lot of reef butterfly fish, tunicates, azure corals, sleeping parrotfish, and I saw a sponge actually moving. It closed up when you hit it with direct light, but if you took the light away it would open back up. Never seen that before! There was also some nice sized barracudas, a porcipine fish, shrimps, crabs, hermit crabs and more reef butterfly fish!

Krista was an awesome hostess for the after dive Conch party. Eric brought a lot of mixers and was bartender. James brought a DVD from his livaboard to Belize. Mike brought some food, and there was plenty of laughs to go around. Thanks all for a really neat evening!

Did anybody see the whale shark?
