Diving Bonaire is amazing, as usual

On our first diving day, we did 2 dives from our dive company Dive Friends Yellow Submarine which is a 2 minute walk from our condo. This was super convenient.

Yesterday, we did Angel City and Salt Pier. Angel city had surprisingly few angelfish but was still an amazing dive. We saw 5+ pufferfish which are so cute! and a very large drumfish.

Salt Pier is always beautiful with large schools of fish. It was on and off raining today and we were able to time it just right that we dove here when the clouds parted and it was sunny the whole dive. This makes for beautiful rays of light through the salt pier beams. We saw so many baracudas! And more angelfish than at Angle city. The schools of fish were there of course and it was a shame I couldn't figure out the video function in time.

Here are some pictures from yesterday.

Today, we went up to one of our favorite sites - Karpata. We didn't do this last time because of the rough seas. Today was a respite from the high winds so it was a good chance to dive this site. It's always a tough entry and exit so extra hard with extra wind.

I was sad to see how much bleaching of the coral was at this site. But there were tons of small fish so hopefully they will rebuild the coral soon.

Our second dive was at another favorite - Something Special. It did not disappoint. There's always fun finds in the nooks and crannies. I saw a very large scorpionfish and lots of shrimp.
