Self Reliant Diver--On All Dives.
Hello Bonaire Surgers,
No corpus or corpus dilecti required.
I am starting this thread to learn about and become acquainted with my Bonaire Surge crewmembers. Also, I am just plain interested in what makes divers tick...why do you dive?
May we keep this simple? I am hoping that people who join this thread can use this system for describing themselves in a percentage format (please alter the individual themes to match the results of your psychoanalysis):
Thanks, and I hope this thread works as I am looking forward to forming relationships with Bonaire Surgers before seeing you in the Caribbean Netherlands!

- Social Diver-
- Gearhead/cert collector/ cert process junky/ camera guy/gal, etc.
- Fishy/Coral person-
- U/W geology nerd and wrecknut-
- 30% Social Diver. Last year while in Cozumel with Dolphin Scuba (all inclusive, our dive group ate together) Cathy and I were the Oceanic White Tips during lunch and dinner. Our MO was to grab a lone table, and then wait for our unknown-to-us victims to approach , we would then politely "bump" or verbally test them to see if they were amenable to becoming our lunch/dinner guests--we always got our prey and we had a BLAST! We gained quite a few new friends.
- 15% Gearhead. I like my gear. I like it my way (while following the tenants of certified diving). I don't have high-end gear nor do I want it. I want what I have. I have an unorthodox rig--I don't swim with the school.
- 25% Fish and Coral Person. I think I've seen dolphinfish swimming in St. Croix while U/W. I want to see marlin, tuna (bluefin, yellowfin, albacore, and blackfin), wahoo, and killer whales while scuba diving. The little reef fish swimming among the corals are cool too.
- 30% U/W geology nerd and wrecknut. Show me a wall, or swim through, or spur and groove, or a blue hole, or a huge boulder field with some fish and coral and I have reached nirvana. I want to dive that stuff from 130 fsw to 50 fsw. Oh baby! The Oriskany, Spiegel Grove, Yukon, et allia are where it is at. No beat-up shallow reefs for me!
Thanks, and I hope this thread works as I am looking forward to forming relationships with Bonaire Surgers before seeing you in the Caribbean Netherlands!
