I had an awesome time vacationing in Bonaire. The license plates say 'diver's paradise' and it's so true! I did 16 dives mostly from boats but also some shore diving. I set a new depth record of 155 feet!!! I also penetrated a wreck for the first time. |

My favorite dive was of the Hilma Hooker. I was able to penetrate this wreck and explore it. Notice the tarpin, almost as big as humans! |
