In my recent trip, I was at the Jeff Davis site and saw this:
The topside didn't look good to walk on, and he obviously can't see the bottom clearly where he'll be stepping. I recall this subject has come up (albeit not often) on ScubaBoard before, and since I grabbed this photo to show the entry for Jeff Davis relative to a diver coming down, I thought it'd be worth posting. I don't think he's identifiable in this shot and I'm not trying to belittle or embarrass anyone, just illustrate a point.
Many of Bonaire's shore diving sites have entries looking like this:
But some look like these 2:
Never mind the Hilma Hooker site where the submerged shoreline is packed with pocked out little holes with sea urchins in them.
There are places that are easier; the pier at some resort house reefs, Bachelors Beach, Aquarius was pretty easy at the water, Windsock usually is (at least in the past; this time there was a big boat at the end of the pier the whole time I was diving).
May seem a bit random, but ever since I saw that guy making an entry barefoot, it's been bugging me to post. Not the first time we've talked about this on ScubaBoard.
