Living the dream

A highland existence interspersed with regular travels and running a charity in Nepal

Bonaire, Dutch Antilles 20 Feb to 6 March 2010

On way back from Ecuador spent two weeks in Bonaire, Dutch Antilles.

Signed up with Wannadive for a PADI open water course in first week.

Based at Eden Beach, using pool and the sea. Course included 4 open water dives.

Lizards and iguanas abound!

Bonaire is pleasant and warm!!

Nice restaurants, like this Argentine steak house, but self catered mostly.

Made a couple of boat dives on Klein Bonaire, a smaller uninhabited island ringed by coral reefs.

The diving was excellent, good viz and great coral formations.

Plenty of fish, like this parrot fish, and also saw rays, a turtle, squid, lobster and so on!!

Snorkelled at various places in between dives.

Bonaire has around 100 dive sites, many of which can be accessed from the shore and the whole coast is a marine reserve

Large cruise shjips visit from time to time.

Aboard the Wannadive boat.

Driving into the National Park on North end of Bonaire, a wild place!

Did about 12 open water dives whilst on the island.
