Re: Digital Underwater Shootout in Bonaire

The shootout sounds like a lot of fun--enjoy!

I dove Bonaire back in the stone age.  It's probably built up more now but the island is great for diving since it's flat and doesn't get much rain, so no run-off to cloud up the water.  So I recall the viz to be very good.  All boat diving was done at stations that had names.  No hooks were allowed to be dropped and it was basically first boat at the mooring got the dive site for a few hours.  This is back when I was using a Nikonos V with either one or two strobes.

And of interest perhaps, the dive master's girlfriend got bent and had to be flown to Curaçao, the only island with a chamber.  She ended up fine but we were all counting down the hours and minutes to see if she would be able to join us for the flight home.
