Hey WW,

I've tried to look up "Diver's Condo Complex" on Bonaire and get find anything. Does it have another  name or can you provide info about how to find more info about it?

Also, any suggestions on travel insurance would be appreciated.

Michael

Hey Michael! Where the heck have you been??? Good question, though.I didn't find anything on it either.

Hey Marvel!

I just got back from a week of diving in Key Largo! I took the PADI underwater photography course and came home with some neat shots as well as having had a good time!

I'll post some of my photos when I get a chance.

Are we missing someone?

[Sweeper]

How many of us on this trip are going to be bringing u/w cameras? I'm looking forward to using my Sea & Sea DX 3000.

Scoop

Ok I've been asked about water temps and the cost of nitrox...here you go:

Water temps are always in the low to mid-80's and air temps are low 80's!

Nitrox is available for $10 per bottle upgrade.

low to mid 80 water temps is music to my ears!

If folks would like to request nitrox upgrades is this something we would need to send to you ahead of time?


Thanks!

WG

Yes Marla, please let me know if you are planning to dive Nitrox! And you certainly don't have to dive it every dive. Some will use it only for multiple dives or the deepest dive which would be the first one assuming you monitor your mix accordingly!

Great question girl!! Thanks, ww

I'll be using nitrox on some dives. -- Michael

Marvel,
Sorry to hear about your first dive in the new suit. Trust me, we won't find any 6ft swells in Bonaire.

Scoop

I hear that the water IS indeed getting warmer. I'll check with some contacts on the island and see exactly what the current temperature is.

You are most welcome! I wish you could have joined us on this one as well! Our next trip is NC in July and we also have a NC trip in August and then Roatan in Sept. Still trying to figure out where to go for the Nov/Dec timeframe. And I'm working on the 2005 calendar as well. Please see the thread on future dive destinations and put your suggestions into it!!
