Eels on Wheels 2015!

Flying into Bonaire I joined the rest of the Eels on Wheels group for a week of diving at the Divi Flamingo Dive Resort.  This year we had almost fifty people in our group, and my roommate was Jill Crocker.  The group was divided into three boats and we were on the Sea Queen with Luis and Orlando.  Our schedule consisted of three dives a day, three meals a day, and lots of time around or in the pool! The diving in Bonaire is always great and this week was no exception....lots of critters!

To honor the memory of a member that passed away we attended the Bonaire Coral Restoration Project meeting at Buddy Dive and made a donation in her name.  The group purchased a tree and a thicket.....a project I am sure that Patsy would have loved!

We enjoyed a stroll into town some nights for a yummy gelato and had a great farewell dinner on Saturday night before we left at Cuba Compagnie with lots of laughs and great food and drink!
During our week of diving we saw an octopus, lots of eels, some seahorses, lots of fish and pristine reefs.  We also had a young couple get engaged underwater....Congratulations!

It was a very rewarding week.....getting back far more than I can give to this awesome group!
RIP Patsy!
