Bonaire pictures

I just got back from Bonaire yesterday. Here are some pictures that I took. It was taken with a sealife DC500 w/ strobe. It was a great trip. I got this camera a week before leaving for the trip, so did not really have any experience with it or any underwater photography. For the most part they turned out pretty good. It was really hard to get the right amount of light, either to much or to little. For those who plan to go there anytime soon, I would suggest bringing lots of OFF as you will be biten while waiting in the airport on arrival and during you stay.

Did you get to feed the Tarpin with your dive light? Just shine it on a small fish on a night dive and the Tarpin will grab it. Incredible how they have aquired this "learned" behavior.

Yeah that was soo cool watching the tarpin eat at night. I saw a school of 6 during the day @ Yellow Submarine. During the night dive I saw a octopus and several huge Moray eels about the size of your 4 arm in diameter. It never really came out, just stayed in its little hole.
