The diving has begun!

We have officially completed our first day of diving here in Bonaire and it was amazing! The first dive was at a site called "invisible" and it was beautiful looking at all the fish and just watching them was so neat. I saw an eagle ray off in the distance and we also saw some little garden eels and a bunch of other beautiful fish! We then went to have lunch with the dive master we were diving with, Bas. He has been really great and has also been giving us lots of information about the island while we are here!



Our 2nd dive was at a place called "something special" and we definitely saw a lot of special things. We were on the hunt for a frog fish which Bas had seen at this site a few days before but were unable to find it this time. Even though we didn't find the frog fish we were able to see an octopus, some squid, a seahorse, and a baracuda...definitely some special creatures!
This is one of the angelfish that we saw...there are several diffierent kinds and I think this one is called a gray angelfish.

The octopus that we saw all curled up in a hole next to some brain coral...he is sleeping right now because this was during the day. I didn't even know that this was an octopus until Bas filled me in after the dive!


This is the red seahorse that we found at the end of our dive!
We also have a few videos to upload that were taken but I think we will have to put those on next post as youtube is giving me some trouble! Off to our 2nd day of diving...wish us luck!
