Scuba Bonaire 2012

7 Days, 7600 Photo Opportunities



This is the year Hailey becomes officially Scuba Certified.
It is unfortunate however that she learned to dive in the most
beautiful environment in the world. Nothing will ever be as
good as this! It is also the vacation where Dave broke his
record on how many pictures taken in seven days.After he
gets out of "trigger finger" rehab and goes through the twelve
step program for "excessive photographing anonymous", he
will possibly get his life back (although I foresee a relapse if
we go anywhere else beautiful). Anyway, our days consisted
of six very important steps:
----loading the pick-up truck with scuba gear
---strapping the gear on our bodies
---walking into the warm southern Caribbean water
---scuba diving
---eating
---sleeping


STEP 1:  LOAD THE GEAR...each person needs 2 air tanks,
BC jacket, regulator to breath through,-----10 pounds of weights
to help us sink, a wet suit , booties, fins, mask.



Step 2: DRIVE THE TRUCK TO DESIRED DIVE SITE...
pick a name out of the dive guide,
....drive a couple of miles and look for a yellow painted
boulder at the side of the road with the aforementioned
name on it and pull over.

Step 3: FASTEN 80 POUNDS OF DIVE GEAR TO YOUR BODY...
then walk gingerly, carefully into the rocky, shifting surf. After waist
deep then relax in the 85 degree water.

Step 4: DIVE, DIVE, DIVE

Step 5: EAT...an unfortunate necessity
Step 6: SLEEP...another unfortunate necessity


WE WILL BE BACK TO BONAIRE.....BECAUSE...

 
 DAVE LEFT HIS BRAIN BEHIND...
