Another beautiful gallery. I'm starting to think I want to go on holiday with you - you seem to pick the most wonderful places, and capture them so well.

Valerie		19-Sep-2007 23:58
Wonderful pictures !!! You captured exactly the ambiance I felt when I was in Bonaire in May last year. I did really great dives. I have even seen a Goliath Grouper next to a wreck. This one was an incredible dive ;-) I also did my first night dive in Bonaire : amazing when you switch off the lights !!! Valerie from Paris

It looks so beautiful... why is Bonaire so far away?! Thanks for sharing these with us.

Guest		28-Jan-2007 21:22
beautiful gallery, excellent work.

Daniela		02-Nov-2006 08:27
I'd like to know where are the slaves houses in the map of Bonaire, in the sud or in the north of the island? Bravo! for your photos (all galleries). In Italy, my country, a person like you is called "in gamba". Ciao Daniela

I would love to answer your questions, Guest, but you did not leave your name, a link or your email. The weather is great all year. No hurricanes because it further south and doesn't get hit. Write again and I will answer in more detail! Thanks for the comments.

Guest		20-Jun-2006 02:25

Hi there, First of all I would like to thank you much for the real nice words! :-) Now, I do LOVE Bonaire. I could say this my second home, or my home by itself. Congrats for the wonderful images! Cheers
