Wow. Where do I start?

Had a blast. One of the best SD trips ever.

It was great seeing old friends and meeting new ones.

Thanks Todd for flexibility in allowing me to get my freediving fix

Neal and Gary, Major Kudos for yet another phenomenal "Chez Neal"

Special thanks to Suzanne, Regis, Charlie and Joe for inviting me on your mid week excursion. Climbing Bradaris was the high point (no pun intended) of the trip.
(and thanks for looking after me when I had my mishap at Boca Slagbaai)

Great costume contest (although I think I should have placed higher lol)

Cactus Blue is the best restaurant on the island bar none.

No pics unfortunately as my camera was totaled on a prior trip

As for rumours, I'm not telling (what happens at Chez Neal... )

Thanks everyone for a wonderful time and hope to see you all on another trip really soon!

This was my first single divers trip and I can say it won't be my last. The photos I took are from my cell phone so not the best, you can find the photo gallery here http://www.dropbox.c...032012?h=c927c9

I spent about 14 hours underwater with all my dives and about the same amount of time at Chez Neal. There was plenty of drinks and plenty of friends, all in all it was a great time.

Even if you did drop the ball...and you did not...but even if you did...no one noticed as we've all been BURIED since getting back! I'm just getting to where I can get some pics I took posted for peeps! So you are way ahead of me. And I have not sent out the post trip stuff which I plan to send out today!

Thank you for posting these for everyone! kamala

[Landlocked Dive Nut]

Fantastic pictures (if I do say so myself!).....but he would have looked even better on the pointy end of my lionfish spear! Too bad Bonaire still won't allow divers to help control the invasion. Last year, I only saw 2-3 on the entire trip. This year, I saw them on EVERY DIVE, and this fellow had a solid 11 inch body.

IMPORTANT POST TRIP UPDATE:

As you all know Joe aka Tankman had what was believed to be a TIA during the trip. I am VERY happy to post the following update he sent myself and the resort...

Dear Kamala, Sara and Michelle,

Just wanted to give you an update on my condition from the beginning of March with the Single Divers group. I got back without any difficulties and had a whole battery of tests, which all came back normal. So we're not really sure what happened, but I'm back to full strength and hoping to redeem myself with another trip soon. Again, thank you for your concern, and God bless you.

Joe

And Joe...we will be happy to have you join us diving again whenever you are ready!
