Bonaire Day 2

So today we did some actual diving. We had the briefing this morning and did an orientation dive off the resort to check out our gear and make sure we were all had the right amount of weight. I started out with 12 pounds. That's my normal salt water weight. Since I had been diving less than four months ago, I expected everything to be fine and it was. Got to try out my new dive computer.

This was Cindy's (the quad) first open water dive and she handled it real well. Bert and Graham dove with her as they are the most experienced divers. She did real well and really enjoyed herself. Open water is a lot different than the pool.

After lunch, we took off on the dive boat. We dove Angel City. Saw a huge moray eel. I got to dive with Charlie. Due to some family problems, it had been two years since he had been diving. I like diving with Charlie since he takes his time and swims nice and slow. I was a little bit worried since I hadn't been swimming laps since April. I was fine. Sixty feet, sixty minutes and I was back on the boat with 1000 pounds left in my tank. Charlie and I kept our modus operandi intact. He and I are usually the first ones off the boat and the last ones on. We come to dive!

Eating at an Argentinian restaurant tonight. I might even post some pictures tomorrow. No, I'll post some tonight.

My room. Note the tasteful draping of clothes on the chair.

Sunset.
