Did a 2 tank dive today – first one took me deeper than I have ever been (95′) and it was on a wreck~! The Hilma Hooker – fun story to this wreck, you can check it out at: https://www.scubadiving.com/history-bonaire-hilma-hooker-shipwreck
Water clarity left some to be desired on the dive, but it was absolutely amazing to watch it come into view. She lies in 60′ – 100′ of water, on her side. ( top of the ship at 60’… going down to the sea floor at 100′) I swear, I could have spent all day down there nosing around that ship. I can see now where people get a ‘wreck’ certification to go inside those. That would have been just cooler than hell. Being a newbie at this (and having a very mindful dive master keeping an eye on me) I stayed on the outside like a good little feller…… The deeper you go, the more air you use, but I managed to get in a 37 minute dive on it. Lots of pictures for you. Second dive was at a much shallower reef and water clarity there was much better – lots of fun pictures from that dive as well.
Think I said previous, I finally got a filter for my camera (that fits) and it works every bit as good as I was hoping. I think you’ll see a huge difference in the quality of the pictures now.
Came home and spent the afternoon going through pictures, showing my bride my adventures for the day. Had a couple of drinks and decided to go out for dinner. Tried a spot we’ve been eyeballing for a while now. Decent food but nothing to ‘write home to Mom’ about.
In an effort to keep these a little shorter – I’m gonna leave it here – I hope you enjoy the pictures~~! More over the next day or so.
ALSO: I put up what I think is a very cool video I took a couple of days ago of a Giant Green Moray Eel…… video is entirely too big to load on here… so sorry, if you want to see it – you’ll have to get on Face Book……. [[sorry]]
