Why Bonaire?

One of the reasons Calvin and I choose to go to Bonaire for our honeymoon was because the island is known for it's abundant marine life and is a very well known place for scuba divers. I’m not a scuba diver new it would be an excellent opportunity to freedive. We were excited to put our skills to some use in a fun way. The sea life was incredible and more beautiful then I ever imagined with clusters of vibrant fish at every turn. The advantage of free diving is that because you have no equipment you don’t create any bubbles which scare the fish and therefore they don’t view you as a predator. You are able to swim along side the pools of fish and join in on their journeys. Calvin wanted to do a wreck dive which was 70 feet deep. While I waited at the surface he dove down and was able to briefly explore the wreck. A pair of scuba divers saw him and were speachless (literally…haha) when they saw he had no equipment. It was hilarious how Calvin described them with their big surprised eyes and gestures but not being able to say anything.
