So i spent a week in Bonaire with a bunch of friends from C.H.U.M. Dive Club (City of Houston Underwater Mariners), my girlfriend and my father. thought id post some pictures for you all. unfortunately one of my strobes was not working upon arrival in bonaire, so i was kicked down to only half the light power. Because of this i did a lot more video rather than photography. here are a few i liked, but you can view all of them at:

First, we have the most important picture of the trip (she said yes):

Excellent shots! I head to Cozumel Saturday for a week of diving and relaxing. I'll post some shots when I get back, I just hope they turn out as nice as yours have. What housing/strobes are you using? I have the 20D with the Ikelite housing and dual DS51 strobes.

Good work!

....I head to Cozumel Saturday for a week of diving and relaxing.

Whilst there, look into diving some Cenotes (external link)on the mainland.

I recall one in which you surface in a cave with spectacular stalactites. ("Bat Cave" ?) and another in which you dive through a halocline.

Enjoy.


My wisdom is learned from the experience of others.
