Thursday 1/27: Oil Slick Leap and Ol' Blue
Hands down the best day of the trip! Back north again today. Oil Slick has a fun entry with a jump of the shore into the water. The short one is 4-6 foot drop, the higher one 6-8 feet. Great dive. We saw two octopi. The second one was out swimming, and put on a good show.
The second dive, Ol' Blue, gets my vote as the best dive site in Bonaire. The entry was moderate, and the reef was incredible! Very distinct coral and extremely lush growth. Fish everywhere, plus we saw two seahorses-both black which was unusual. Also saw a turtle.
For dinner we went to Patagonia. Much better than the other night! It was a steakhouse overlooking a marina. Very pretty setting. My steak was excellent too.
I definitely have to say I prefer the sites to the north over those to the south. In the south, the reef is further from shore which means a longer swim out and back. It's steeper in the north too, so the topography is more interesting.
