more Bonaire

Last day here in Bonaire. Time to off-gas some nitrogen from 18 dives over six days before flying home. Here are some photos from a week underwater.

My wife at a typically Caribbean blue shore entry point:

The place where I had iguana stew for lunch, skin and all. Never again:


Hope you enjoyed the tour! Be back in the States tomorrow night. Hi-def video to follow, after some editing time.

Over and out.

Yup, she's quite a fish in water. Her air consumption is amazingly low. It's great to be married to someone who's as into diving as I am. She hates cold water diving though, so I have to look elsewhere for dive buddies up north.

Great photos' mate, thanks for sharing. Bonaire's next on my long-haul list; spent a couple of weeks in Aruba two summers ago, but I gather that Bon' has a better diving infrastructure. Looking forward to the video; looks like you had a great time.

Cool pics, Jason!

Is your wife still diving with the PO Chrono?

[Docrwm]

Great pics, thanks for sharing. Great to see the divers in their intended environment. One question, the Rolex looks bigger and blacker than I recall - did you have to encase it in some sort of water-tight diving case in order to preserve its warranty

Cool pics, Jason!

Is your wife still diving with the PO Chrono?

Yup, she has taken the PO chrono diving but left it home on this trip in favor of just wearing her Suunto Mosquito diver computer, which works as a watch as well. She's not quite as nuts as me, packing along multiple watches.

Love the pics.
How deep was the wreck?

Thanks, Jay. The wreck rests on its starboard side on the sand between two reefs. The mast is at 105 feet and the top of the wreck is at about 60 feet. There were a couple of easy penetration points where we could swim through a cabin and through a couple of cargo holds.
