We woke up at 2:00am on October 15th for a very early morning flight to Bonaire. Eric and Sebastien met us at the airport and we all had a great time on our way down through Miami and San Juan. We had pizza and took plenty of pictures in Miami. Sebastien is an especially fun subject since he doesn't like to be photographed. :-) We all slept a little bit on the flights and had a take-out dinner (by the seaside) of sausages from the Argentinian Grill. Sunday morning we had an early breakfast at the City Cafe and then picked up some groceries from the Cultimara.... 207@http://www.mvpix.com/news/ http://www.mvpix.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-post.cgi?entry_id=207 CrossBlog Posting MVPix News : Travel : Bonaire Category http://www.mvpix.com/news/archives/travel-bonaire/off-to-bonaire-again.html Travel : Bonaire Sun, 10 Apr 2005 17:46:50 -0500 183@http://www.mvpix.com/news/ http://www.mvpix.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-post.cgi?entry_id=183 Jean-Sebastien Morisset MVPix News : Travel : Bonaire Category http://www.mvpix.com/news/archives/travel-bonaire/bonaire-after-ivan.html Travel : Bonaire Wed, 15 Sep 2004 18:57:39 -0500 On Wednesday, September 8th 2004, hurricane Ivan passed 60 miles north of Bonaire N.A., sending large swells on Bonaire's north/east shores. Linda Baker from the Carib Inn sent out a few e-mail to keep Bonaire regulars up-to-date. The Carib Inn lost most of the boards from their pier, the Divi lost their main pier once again, and Lions Dive had to sweep sand from their offices. Linda also reports that Vista Blue is fine, Something Special is more of a garbage site now than before (but the 4 frogfish are still there), Witches Hut has a lot of broken coral in the shallows and coral damage by sandcover, some coral heads were pushed near the entry ramp at the... 169@http://www.mvpix.com/news/ http://www.mvpix.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-post.cgi?entry_id=169 Jean-Sebastien Morisset MVPix News : Travel : Bonaire Category http://www.mvpix.com/news/archives/travel-bonaire/iridescent-caribbean-reef-squid.html Travel : Bonaire Mon, 19 Jul 2004 20:28:56 -0500 On the afternoon of May 13th 2004, Melanie, Eric and I dove the Salt Pier in Bonaire. We opted for a simple dive profile - out from the shore to the central pier, then north to the neighboring pier, then back along the same route. The visibility was a little worse than usual, so extra care had to be taken with substrobe placement. The dive was fairly un-eventful, until we headed back to shore from the central pier... 157@http://www.mvpix.com/news/ http://www.mvpix.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-post.cgi?entry_id=157 CrossBlog Posting MVPix News : Travel : Bonaire Category http://www.mvpix.com/news/archives/travel-bonaire/update-on-petries-pillar-for-2004.html Travel : Bonaire Mon, 19 Jul 2004 18:39:35 -0500 The common description of Petrie's Pillar goes something like: "A shore dive for the beginner, with moderate currents and an average depth of 30-100 feet. The terrain is much like Andrea I and II. Large stands of Pillar Coral are found in the shallows along with schools of Blue Tangs. This site was named by Capt. Don as a wedding present for a friend." If you believe this description, you're likely to abort the dive before setting foot in the water!... 144@http://www.mvpix.com/news/ http://www.mvpix.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-post.cgi?entry_id=144 CrossBlog Posting MVPix News : Travel : Bonaire Category http://www.mvpix.com/news/archives/travel-bonaire/under-the-salt-pier.html Travel : Bonaire Mon, 19 Jul 2004 18:39:30 -0500 We arrived late Saturday night on Bonaire, did some grocery shopping, etc. on Sunday, and started diving on Monday morning. On our second dive, I knew something was wrong. I couldn't equalize no matter how hard I tried. The cold symptoms hit hard that night, and I would be unable to dive for the next 3 days. Once I could equalize again, I took some decongestant and we tried a very conservative dive profile from the hotel's pier. My ears cleared up quickly over the next few days, but my sinuses took a little longer... 143@http://www.mvpix.com/news/ http://www.mvpix.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-post.cgi?entry_id=143 CrossBlog Posting MVPix News : Travel : Bonaire Category http://www.mvpix.com/news/archives/travel-bonaire/back-from-bonaire.html Travel : Bonaire Tue, 25 May 2004 18:03:40 -0500 We got home just after midnight on Sunday morning - after being up for 21 hours straight. The flights back were fairly un-eventful, although 3 of our checked luggage were searched in Miami. I though I'd put everything suspicious in our carry-ons, but they're getting really paranoid. For example, if you put a few books together, there's a good chance they'll search your luggage because the books create a 'solid looking mass'. Next time we'll space out our books... :-) Our stay at the Carib Inn was very enjoyable - we met several old friends, and made a few new ones. Just before our last dive, the winds reversed and allowed us to dive the White Hole on the... 38@http://www.mvpix.com/news/ http://www.mvpix.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-post.cgi?entry_id=38 Jean-Sebastien Morisset MVPix News : Travel : Bonaire Category http://www.mvpix.com/news/archives/travel-bonaire/back-to-bonaire-in-may.html Travel : Bonaire Tue, 10 Feb 2004 21:44:00 -0500 Melanie and I are heading back to Bonaire the first three weeks of May. If you'd like to dive with us, or would like to suggest / request some specific photo subjects, please let us know. We'll be staying at Bruce Bowker's Carib Inn (as usual) and doing mostly shore dives down south.... 35@http://www.mvpix.com/news/ http://www.mvpix.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-post.cgi?entry_id=35 Jean-Sebastien Morisset MVPix News : Travel : Bonaire Category http://www.mvpix.com/news/archives/photography-stock-photos/yellowline-arrow-crab-in-branching-vase-sponge.html Photography : Stock Photos Tue, 02 Dec 2003 01:25:46 -0500 33@http://www.mvpix.com/news/ http://www.mvpix.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-post.cgi?entry_id=33 Jean-Sebastien Morisset MVPix News : Travel : Bonaire Category http://www.mvpix.com/news/archives/photography-stock-photos/longlure-frogfish-and-friends.html Photography : Stock Photos Tue, 25 Nov 2003 19:44:52 -0500 32@http://www.mvpix.com/news/ http://www.mvpix.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-post.cgi?entry_id=32 Jean-Sebastien Morisset
