Bonaire Aug-2011

We spent the first week of August, 2011 diving in Bonaire. We stayed at the Bellevue condos on the south side of the island and dove with the Belmar dive shop. We dove a number of sites on the south end of the island and really enjoyed the topography there. We only dove a few sites on the north end - Oil Slick Leap and Andrea 1. All photos were taken with my Canon 40D using Canon 60mm, Canon 100mm, and Tokina 10-15mm lenses and dual Inon strobes.
