Re: Bonaire
Here is a group of my favorite fish pictures.  Especially like the Christmas Tree Worms.  I still like to watch them retract when you get close to them.  There is so much to look at and explore in Bonaire that I have to go again.

Finally a view from the party dock.  The gang had a lot of fun here and the swimming was great.  We all had fun on this trip as you may be able to tell.

See you at the bottom.

Re: Bonaire
I went to Bonaire in December with my daughter.  We had a great time and a great Christmas.  Bonaire is a super place to dive and a great place to visit.  There is plenty of things to take pictures of both above and below the water.

Here are a few examples of some of the fish that are hanging around.

Re: Bonaire
There are also some neat none fish creatures.  Bonaire is a great place to see squid and octopus.  This is really neat, because of the interaction that can happen with these creatures.  Get a look at these guys.

Re: Bonaire
There are disturbing thing underwater also.  Here are some goldentail eels living in sin.  And right in front of my innocent, impressionable daughter.  The world is a dangerous place.  There are plenty of different goldentails that are not as dirty.  Looking at all of the eels in Bonaire is great funas there are so many of them.

Re: Bonaire
If you want to know why they are called goldentail eels, it should be obvious here.  The Spotted eels are more agressive, ths one shows how tough he is. 

Been seeing more sea turtles each year.  They are a favorite and my daughter really enjoys them.

There are some little blennies that you see a lot and are hard to get pictures of, but here is one.

Re: Bonaire
It was Christmas at the time we were there.  We had a nice little tree so we tried to get some pictures of area sites with the Christmas spirit.

Re: Bonaire
Finally a few pictures of the area.  It was a great trip.  I hope you get a chance to go and enjoy the diving and sights of Bonaire, the shore diving capital of the world.
