Last Dive Day

Today is the last day that we can dive. You are not allowed to dive for 24 hours before you fly. Because this is our last dive day we booked a Boat Dive for two dives. The Friday boat dives go to the north end of the Island to dive sites that you can’t shore dive from. The first dive site was known as “Bloodlet”. The dive started out slowly but near the halfway point Trudy found an octopus in the open. I was able to get a few shots of it.

We also saw a Midnight Parrotfish, a Barracuda, Scrawled Filefish, Drum fish, plus the other usual fish.

The second dive site was called “Bonbininacas” which means “Welcome to my home”. The was nice, but no exciting creatures, with the exception of three “Midnight Parrotfish”. These fish are very large by Bonaire standards, as they can grow to 4 feet, and are quite wide.

In the afternoon we lazed around, cleaned some of the dive gear and had a nap.

In the late afternoon, a few of the Yellow Submarine staff came over for a happy hour drink. The owner of the shop Gerri, the manager Asko and one of the dive masters Carolyn came over to help clean out our supply of beer and wine.

We enjoyed another Bobbiejans meal and plan on the same thing tomorrow evening. I got the Steak dinner, and Trudy got the Chicken Sate.
