We spent two weeks in Bonaire during the latter half of July - our 16th visit to the island. We stayed at the oceanside Bellevue apartments in Belnem. Aside from a little bump in the road, we had a wonderful time. The overall underwater visibility was better than during our last visit in January. We spent quite a bit of dive time at Cha Cha Cha Beach and Te Amo Beach. This was also the first time that we dove with the Dive Friends team - a pretty outstanding operation. We hope you enjoy some of our photos and videos here.

One of the things we learned on this dive trip was how useful magnetic slates are for communicating with each other. Thanks to Susan Porter for this handy hint.
