Bonaire 2008 Photo Gallery by John E. Petty at pbase.com

Bonaire 2008

The attached photos are shots which I made Sept. 08 on the island of Bonaire. My first time to experience the joy of underwater photography. Nowhere else can you observe beautiful wildlife in their natural surroundings, just inches away, than underwater. Bonaire is totally encircled by beautiful and healthy coral reef which is so easy to enjoy. Just drive to your chosen dive site, gear up and walk in. John E. Petty
