I've included my mini-site from diving on this site, as it's hard to separate the two, personally.
Nevermind a perfect honeymoon, the diving was great.
Corals
If I had to explain, you wouldn't understand.I learned those words first about the Grateful Dead, but they've been applicable towards any number of my recent pursuits. Coral propagation and reefkeeping are applicable ... as would be diving. If you haven't done it, and you're here for the coral site - I would encourage you to go see a `real reef'. You'll love it.
I've got one real dive trip under my belt, just a diving newbie. Yet if that's all I would ever dive, I've learned a lot and spent many enjoyable hours - well worth the `price of admission'.
For those who don't know, Bonaire is an island just off of Venezuela, in the trio of islands along with Aruba and Curacao.
Bonaire prides itself on it's reefs, with the entire island surrounded by Marine Park, the first established in the Carribean. Water was warm, current is pretty non-existent, and the real plus was shore-diving. For half our dives, we just tossed our gear and a couple of tanks in the back of our pickup - and hit the road. Decided on a site, planned the dive ... and were able to dive on our own schedule, at an `empty' site, and explore at our pace.
For a reefkeeper, looking to slow down and see the little things - it could hardly be more ideal. The more you look, the more you see.
Anyway, I only brought the camera out one day, the final day of the trip. That experience led me to realize both how poor an underwater photographer I am, and how skilled many others are at it.
Enjoy the photos of our honeymoon dive trip.
