Went to Bonaire 10 years ago. Would love to go back but it's such a PITA coming from the west coast. We stayed at plaza resort bonaire. Had an awesome time. Did you go to Washington state park? Do they still make you take the class to get your diving "medalion" for the marine park?

We did not go to the Washington Slagbaai National park on this trip. We have been to Bonaire ~ 2x / year for the last 4 years, and went several years ago. They do make you do a "check-out" dive if you have not been diving there recently. We had just been there in April 2010, so we did not have to purchase a new Marine park pass, nor were we required to do a check-out dive. That is the main reason that we decided to go back............We saved 50 bucks by not having to purchase the pass

Great photos. I gave up underwater photography back in the days of film cameras. I grew frustrated with getting one or two decent shots on a 36 exposure roll of film. I've never made the financial jump into housings for my digital Nikons.

Do you stay at the same place each time?

No we have stayed several times at Happy Holiday Homes, we have rented a house a couple times up in Sabadeco, and we have stayed in a Condo at Lighthouse Beach Resort. Our favorite area to stay is in Belnem.

Here is a picture off the back Patio of our rented house from this trip. Steps right down into the water from a private home. Truly paradise

Thank you everyone for your kind words.

Is anyone interested in another dive??

Thanks for the effort and for posting Jason! I know that wasn't the easiest thing to do and I appreciate the care in staging and selecting some just plain COOL shots.

Keep up the good work!
