And can help a girl out by carrying a small baby gift to the Buddy Dive Shop? One of the DM's is expecting his first child in July. I crocheted mobile of sea creatures - fish, starfish, lobster, crab, octopus, squid as a gift. Hanging off a small wood hoop attached by fishing line. Weighs at...

After returning from Bonaire last week and evaluating my pics (fish butts, blurry fish butts, washed out fish butts and...more fish butts) I've decided I need to invest some time and effort into this UW photography thing. I know I should be getting better results from this camera. (OK, they...

This was the 17th straight year for JustUs Divers at Buddy Dive, 2 weeks, one week is just not enough. Your milege may vary and past performance is no indication of anything. JustUs is a spoof - for years hubs and I traveled and people would ask if we were there with a group, to which he would...

Info Bonaire is reporting that the chamber has been closed temporarily. Issues with getting medical team to staff it. Plan is reopen in May. While I hope I never need it, it was comforting to know one is available.

Had an ear situation arise couple weeks back. Did a few nice tropical Bonaire dives, 60'ish foot range, 45 - 60 minutes in warm (80F) water. Noticed a bit of water in right ear after second dive. After third dive, noticed water in ear and diminished hearing which I attributed to water. Put a...

A couple months ago I stumbled across a thread in accidents (I think) linked to an article about a saturation diver disconnected from his umbilical. Returning from business yesterday came across the movie version. Mostly a documentary it combines actual footage & audio from the event and...

Anyone taken it out for a spin yet? I have the ProPlus2 (silver buttons) which I love, bought my brother the PP4 as a Christmas gift, just arrived last week. He's Bonaire bound next week with it. Any insight appreciated.

My nephew is asking about cliffs to jump off. I know there is one at Boca Slagbaai, anyone ever jump? How high is it and how deep is the water? Oil Slick is another possibility. Any others?

Just back from 2 weeks (Mar 17 – 31). Delta Phila – Atl – Bon had enough time in PHL and ATL to hit the Skyclub for breakfast, no problem with baggage making flights, no rushing to gates. The ATL – BON flights utilized the nice comfy jets with seat back entertainment systems, reclining seats and...

Very sad to read this morning. *** BREAKING NEWS *** Dutch Police fatally shot in Bonaire | 721news.com

Business will take me to St. Thomas for couple weeks, leaving next Sunday, last minute thing. Appreciate any info! Looking for dive info for weekends, will be working long hours during the week, but HOPING to get to a beach to swim or snorkel after work, I'm going to need to decompress. Input...

Along with my BF/dive buddy this year we brought along my brother and his 18 yr old son, certified May 2013, on their first dive trip. They stayed for 1 week buddy and I stayed for 2. Delta PHL – ATL – BON and back all ran smooth and on time. This was our 8th year Buddy Dive. The convenience of...

Just back from a fantastic Sat-Sun @ Dutch with The Dive Shop folks. Owner Arin, instructors Amanda and Kevin, DMC's Tony, Bill, Ellis (and more I'm sure I forgot) are super-safety conscious, thorough and fun! If anyone is looking for certification or advanced training in S. Jersey talk to them...

Back from 2 weeks doing the dive-drive package in 1 bedroom condo. Normally we do Bonaire mid -late March, but Easter messed up schedule with higher airfare and otherscheduling issues. Highlites of the trip here and I’ll post additional infowith other tidbits and/or interesting bits. This was...

Not diving, but found this in the water line during my beach run yesterday. Extreme low tide, Hurricane Sandy made landfall only 30 miles or so north and we recently completed a beach replenishment so my guess it was underwater and got stirred up. To give some perspective the plastic bottle is...

To start, I love my Pro+2 (shiny buttons), using it for a year, intuitive, nice size readouts (old eyes), great feature/function. Until last night I had not been able to upload dives, which has been a great source of frustration. First - I was sold the wrong interface cable. (Why you manufacture...

Staying at 7 Mile Beach Resort w/ parents.Normal dive buddy has to work, so I'm the lone diver. Arrived Sunday on Usless Air, no problems. Early dinner Sunday at Morgans Harbour - yummy and great views. Monday stocked in provisions, walk through G-town and some beach / snorkel time...

Will be on 7 MB 9/18 - 9/25 w/ non-diving family. My dive buddy can't get off work, leaving me buddy-less. Staying next to Ambassador Diving and plan to boat dive with them, but I really would like to shore dive as well, if possible. If any locals or SB'ers will be around and diving, let me...

Due to a medical emergency, I've had to postpone my Bonaire trip. Buddy and Delta were very accomodating in working with us to reschedule at a later time when I have the all clear to travel and dive. I could not have asked for more! It's nice to be able to say something good (for once) about...
