Last day of diving...sigh

We did 2 more boat dives on Klein Bonaire today.  We went to Hands Off and Keepsake.  The sun was in and out of the clouds today so the colors were dull one moment and vibrant the next.  We were again accompanied by some porcupinefish and saw a number of eels.  We saw a lionfish which was the first time one of our fellow divers had ever seen one so it was quite a treat for her.  On the second dive there were lots of schools of tiny fish which was super cool.






After diving we went for lunch by the pool and then relaxed by the pool.  We enjoyed sunset again at the pier bar. An odd thing happened as a porcupinefish found its way to the pier.  He swam next to our table for a while.  At one point, a small boat came by and the porcupinefish must have been frightened as it inflated itself and became a spikey ball.  How cool! We were worried about the fish eventually finding its way back to the reef however. 
Porcupinefish - normal

Porcupinefish - ballooned!




We had dinner at an Italian restaurant called Capriccio recommended by someone on the boat.  It was ok, not fabulous.
