    ScubaBoard Invasion Central 2024 Bonaire

    I didn't read carefully and thought you were asking about Slagbai park, but you asked about STINAPA. So I looked at their rules here: Diving And that would indicate that SMB is at least recommended but its unclear what is required and what is recommended. Since I've never seen divers using...

    Its been quite a few years since I dove inside the park. But it wasn't required last time I did.

    ScubaBoard Invasion Central 2024 Bonaire

    I agree the distillery is worth a visit. By the way there is a dirt road cut off that avoids Rincon. Its rough and steep and if you're not careful and the tailgate of your truck is prone to falling open you could spread scuba gear for 100 yards going up the hill. I think I know someone that...

    Well it's been a week with no response from Toucan Divers. I'm thinking about posting in the Bonaire Lionfish Hunters FB group to see what they have to say.

    Thanks for asking. I was wondering myself but didn't get around to posting the question. I sent the question to Toucan Divers. Will post when I get an update.

    Shore Diving and Truck Rentals for 2024 Bonaire Invasion

    I'm not sure how often or how many shore dives I'll do but I'd definitely be interested/willing to split a truck rental with a few others. I'm guessing the included 2 daily boat dives will be done in the morning leaving all afternoon (and night) for shore dives.

    Favorite Memories from the SB Invasion 2023 Roatan

    Favorite aspect of this trip was the new and existing friends I got to spend time with. I was pleased the new facility on the waterfront was open, although now I get even less exercise (they could probably command a primum price for the bungalows on the hill if the renamed them to: fitness...

    Our bags arrived just now. 36 hours after us but they're here.

    ScubaBoard Invasion Central 2023 Roatan

    Well our bags still have not made it to us here. Not too surprising given the chaos in Houston last night. But what is surprising and concerning is the airline hasn't added any tracking information since arrival in Houston.

    ScubaBoard Invasion Central 2023 Roatan

    The dog eating the PP reminds me of the time I opened the envelope containing my brand new PP using a sharp letter opener. I sliced through the binding of the new PP. I used tape to bind it together and went on to use it for its natural life. In the 10 years I used it no one ever even asked...

    ScubaBoard Invasion Central 2023 Roatan

    I do confirm. Melanie loved the snorkeling and how the crew managed the snorkelers. The crew was helpful and informative. The snorkeling relaxed and easy with a good variety of sites and sea life. They select sites based on current conditions keeping out of strong currents or high waves. She...

    Shearwater Perdix Battery Died Twice

    I switched to 3.6v lithium. They don't last as long but i bought 4 and a charger so I swap them more frequently. So far (maybe 50 dives) no repeat of full to dead in one dive.
