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.... 205@http://www.mvpix.com/photographers/ http://www.mvpix.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-post.cgi?entry_id=205 Jean-Sebastien Morisset MVPix Photographers : Travel : Bonaire Category http://www.mvpix.com/photographers/archives/travel-bonaire/labc-de-la-plongee-de-bord-a-bonaire.html Travel : Bonaire Mon, 19 Jul 2004 19:23:33 -0500 L'île de Bonaire est reconnue pour la richesse de ses fonds marins, ses petites créatures et la facilité d'y plonger de la rive tout au long de sa cote ouest. Bonaire offre plus de 80 sites de plongée identifiés avec des bouées sur l'eau ou avec des pierres peinturées jaunes sur le long de la route. Les sites non identifiés sont très nombreux. Il faut seulement choisir un point d'entrée, stationner son véhicule sur le coté de la route et plonger à l'aventure !! Pour profiter et apprécier pleinement la plongée de bord, il y a plusieurs trucs qu'il faut connaître et mettre en pratique... 146@http://www.mvpix.com/photographers/ http://www.mvpix.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-post.cgi?entry_id=146 Melanie Vallee MVPix Photographers : Travel : Bonaire Category http://www.mvpix.com/photographers/archives/travel-bonaire/iridescent-caribbean-reef-squid.html Travel : Bonaire Mon, 19 Jul 2004 16:21:42 -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... 141@http://www.mvpix.com/photographers/ http://www.mvpix.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-post.cgi?entry_id=141 Jean-Sebastien Morisset MVPix Photographers : Travel : Bonaire Category http://www.mvpix.com/photographers/archives/travel-bonaire/update-on-petries-pillar-for-2004.html Travel : Bonaire Mon, 19 Jul 2004 16:09:57 -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!... 139@http://www.mvpix.com/photographers/ http://www.mvpix.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-post.cgi?entry_id=139 Jean-Sebastien Morisset MVPix Photographers : Travel : Bonaire Category http://www.mvpix.com/photographers/archives/travel-bonaire/under-the-salt-pier.html Travel : Bonaire Mon, 19 Jul 2004 03:16:15 -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... 53@http://www.mvpix.com/photographers/ http://www.mvpix.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-post.cgi?entry_id=53 Jean-Sebastien Morisset MVPix Photographers : Travel : Bonaire Category http://www.mvpix.com/photographers/archives/travel-bonaire/bonaire-paradis-pour-plongeurs.html Travel : Bonaire Thu, 07 Aug 2003 00:38:47 -0500 Un regard sur la petite ile de Bonaire.
