Trip to Bonaire
11-12-06

we got up had some breakfast and then attended the diver orientation that is mandatory each time you visit Bonaire, next we went on to the dive shop to purchase our permit tags. Finally it was time to get wet, we geared up and did a quick buoyancy check and headed out to the reef just off shore for our first dive. I did not bring my camera on this first dive.  In between dives we checked out our rental truck and went to the grocery store for food, soda and beer! For the second dive today I decided it was time to begin using my camera, this was my first real dive with my camera other than a short dive in Vermont back in August.
