Day 4: Tuesday Jan 25, 2011 Bonaire

Tuesday 1/25: 1000 Steps and Karpata

There's actually 64 steps, not a thousand. This was the dive I was most worried about the entry and exit, due to the long staircase, but it turned out to be one of the easiest all week. Going down was actually harder than coming back up, because you had to worry about falling over forward. From the bottom of the staircase, it was a pretty easy entry into the water. Very nice dive, great reef with plenty of fish to look at.

The second site was Karpata. This was a fairly tricky entry. Lots of rocks, and there was a large slab of concrete that you walked next to and held on to while entering. There was an abandonded marine research station there at the site. But the dive was great! Very cool coral formations.

For dinner tonight we went to the Buddy Dive barbeque. Very good food and free rum punch!  I bought a home made Christmas ornament (check that off the list!) from a lady who was selling things as a fundraiser for the local humane society.
