Bonaire Sponges

Bonaire Sponges

Hello all it’s me again!!  In case you haven’t noticed, reef scenes like this one here are one of my favorite things to shoot!!  There’s just nothing like searching and combing the reef looking for that one sponge or that one coral head that stands out from the rest.  Then once your in position and ready to take the photo have your dive buddy swim slowly overhead and presto you have the makings for a beautiful photo.  This spectacular yellow tube sponge was found at Captain Don’s Reef on the island of Klein Bonaire.  I think this was at around 65 feet it was just glowing on the reef and begged to have it’s picture taken.  That’s Scott shooting video way up there and thanks to him and Tammi I got to go on this great dive!  I remember looking down deeper like to 100 feet or so and seeing so many beautiful sponges down there but was unable to go after them, this would be a great spot for a deep dive.  Soon after shooting this photo a beautiful little hawksbill turtle swam by and we noticed it had been caught and tagged, that was the first time I had seen that before.
 
Aimee went with our friends Sara and Ann today to a popular dive site called Puerto Mari.  I think it’s safe to say they all had a wonderful day in the Caribbean sun and clear water.  I worked but am still fighting this stupid cough, it’s really annoying! 
 
That’s about it. still very hot and no rain!  Be back tomorrow, Barry
