Bonaire dive day 6 - last day of diving

Today the wind was down so we were able to do our scheduled east coast dives! It was the most calm day of the week. They had to cancel the Wednesday east coast trip in addition to our Tuesday one. 

Our first dive was at Funchi - the sloping reef on the outer barrier. We started out by seeing a bunch of turtles swim towards us. One of the first things we saw was a sleeping nurse shark. I think it was green tinged. I saw a small eel swimming between rocks but later we saw a huge green moray under a ledge. There were a couple lionfish. There was a huge sleeping Southern ray. At the end after the dive master called the end of the dive, a little eagle ray swam straight at me. So cute. And then it promptly reconsidered and turned away. Unfortunately I had already turned off my camera so didn't get that approaching shot. 

The second dive was in turtle City where we saw 30+ turtles. Almost too many ;)

We didn't want to end on that so we did our last dive at Something Special. It was amazing. There was a huge group of silver fish - many thousands! They way they moved was so cool and organic. I saw more than 4 balloonfish!! And even had a porcupine fish follow me around for a bit. It was such a great dive to end on!
