1/1/13 Margate Bay & btwn Alice in Wonderland/Angel City

[Chasin' Tales]

1/1/13
First dive Margate Bay - Saw a turtle, scorpionfish, lion fish, shrimps, golden tail eel, usual suspects. First time for this dive. We really liked it!


Second dive we parked between Alice in Wonderland & Angel City - huge yellowtail snapper on second reef, eight lionfish on second reef, garden eels in sand channel, scorpion fish on second reef, huge parrot fish towards shore. Vis was not the best. Buried the truck up to the rear axle in the rocky shore. Felt like a dumbass. Some really nice local folks helped us out. Had planned on doing another dive, but scratched it for today.

Proposed to my wife this evening (yes, we are already married but I never proposed . She said she would marry me again . Maybe this will take the pressure off me forgetting her birthday present at home .

Head north, the visibility is better up there right now...

Thanks, several fellow divers at Coral Paradise have said the same thing. We are headed up that way in the morning. On our first trip to Bonaire, we were very partial to the southern sites, especially the double reef dives. The are still great despite the vis.
