Tiggrr and Zaphod go to Bonaire 3/7 - 3/15

[gert7to3]

Did Salt Pier last year. There were ships loading there all week and last I had heard it was closed.

How has you your vis been? We had rain three times during the week. That left the water cloudy. Did the Invisibles as a night dive as well as during the day.

Tonite was truly amazing!!

We're renting a camera tomorrow for the rest of the week.

I'm exhausted.

Phil found his first Scorpian fish. I'm proud. I remember that feeling. And he's finding all sorts of other stuff as well. Spotted Drum is another.

The next 2 days are going to be really busy but, I'll write everything down and report back.

Goodnite from Bonaire!!

This is Tiggrr...long story but, I can't get into my account. We did a dawn dive at Capt'n Dons and went North this time. Found a few interesting things. The one thing I couldn't quite figure out what it was .....on the safety stop where its just sand and rubble I found some corkscrew anenome and a shrimp in it but, I couldn't see its body. What I did see were long red and white striped antennas, red with white spotted claws, and translucent bluish long arms with the tiniest claws ever. The tiny claws were pulling sand into his lair. The other thing was a giant puffer. The puffers seem to like to hang out about 15 ft over the reef. This is the 2nd time I've seen that. Haha saw 2 queen angels right at the beginning of the dive and I now feel a little happy dance when I see them due to my other morning dive.

Phil forgot his computer so, we did an ultra conservative dive to 40 ft and then 25 on the way back. And last but, not least, I told Phil to pull a spotted moray tail we saw sticking out of the reef. His mask filled from laughing.

Next we took a boat ride to Klein Bonaire for 1 dive. It was pretty good. Oh yea, we rented a camera this morning. Don't know how the pics will turn out but, I can't stand not having one. So, I'll have pics to post on Saturday. So, at Klein I found the coolest thin tube sponge that had more than a dozen tiny white feather dusters at the base. There was a bit of surge so, took lots of pics of that one. And a bunch of a scorpian fish. Can't remember what else but, it was an awesome dive having a camera again.

That is all.

Oh yea, and I forgot. We did Witch's Hut yesterday and it was pretty uneventful but, still lovely. Anyhoo, I am patting myself on the back in a BIG way because I got us back literally in the same spot we started. And for those who haven't been there, there is not buoy there.

Quick, someone else pat me on the back before the glow fades.
