Diver's Notes

Boat dives with Buddy Dive Resort. Boat: Reef Buddy, Led by: Britney with Thomas supporting. Skipper Baptiste. on Bini Na Kas means “Welcome home” in Papiamentu, this site lies just next to 1000 Steps and is a boat dive only. Christened by Captain Don back in the day. Our first boat dive on Bonaire. Took a giant stride off the back of the boat. Waited for everyone to group then descended. Britney slowed led the dive group ~15 against the current along the reef at about 15m, then when we returned it was much shallower ~7m. Loads of photographers on the dive so when the dive boat became visible we just remained at about 2,7m for 4 min before Britney called timeout and we surfaced and boarded the boat with a helping hand from Baptiste. This site is incredible for its abundance of natural staghorn colonies which grow on the shelf.
