Still a little more Bonaire

These are a few more I was looking at before bed. My husband loved the ones of the fish coming from the deep. It was so weird in Bonaire because unlike the other places where they slope off, Bonaire goes out then drops off like a cliff. Can be a little disconcerting at first but then just awesome. One was of the turtle I was following that just kept going deeper and it was like suddenly it dawned on him he had to come up for air. It was something to watch.







First a lot of fish

Then, oops? Where did they go? Hmmm? He looks kinda miserable. :-D

Mom,
Bonaire is great, a buddy and I were doing a night dive right in front of Capt Dons Habitat when all of a sudden a Tarpon swam between us, it was an instant change of underwear scenario. Once we calmed down we realized he was using our lights to hunt, smart fish. The locals had a name for him but I don't remember it. Lots of funny moments underwater.

If you are not expecting it then it is one scary experience. But like I said smart fish. Oh his name was Jack.
