Day Two in Bonaire

After a great night of sleep, we were up early for a 8:30 a.m. boat dive. We went to an area called North Belmen. It is named after the first two residents in the area, Harry Belifonte being the first. We dove down to 64 feet. I still suck air too fast, so we could only stay down about twenty minutes. Karen still over half her air left, I used up nearly all of mine. Shows the difference between men and women--lung capacity. Then we came back for about an hour and went out for another boat dive at 11:00 am. This time to the island Kein Bonaire. We did not dive as deep staying around 40 feet or less. But still my air did not last long. Anyway, the world underwater in this area is beautiful. God is so creative. We see just droves of tropical fish in magnificant colors. I am hoping to be able to get some pictures from divers with cameras. My topside camera is taking pictures of people, food, and pelicans. But somehow I did not grab a cord that I thought I had brought home. So I am unable to download my photos until I get home because it uses a smaller end on the USB cord.
After a nap Karen and I went diving on our own just off the pier. The purpose was to work on our weights because we were carrying too much weight and it makes things difficult when you are down deep. It was work and not fun. But necessary for the rest of the week. Hopefully we have it all done right.
Tonight I am sitting out on the resort porch and looking at the surf as it surges into the shore. We saw a hermit crab in his stolen shell walking in the preparation room. The air is warm, but the breeze from the ocean is refreshing, so no sweat.
Tomorrow we are on a free dive day. So Karen and I will work of the resort pier and just swim the reef out in front. I could just spend days looking at it. We are hoping to be doing more underwater sightseeing and not so much work at doing our staying in the right positions. Maybe I can report the sighting of a squid or a turtle or some other interesting creatures of the depths. So I bid you good night and hope that your Monday is filled with blessings.
