Bonaire diving was amazing! It was so interesting to see all of our fish in the wild. My favorites were the pufferfish, jawfish, seahorse, and baby trunkfish the size of my fingernail. Here are just a few photos and videos. I’m already planning my next trip!😁🐡☀️

Seeing and watching the fish we keep in our tanks in their natural environments is truly like no other! The reefs in Bonaire are all protected and incredibly well maintained as well.

Every time I go diving I’m reminded how tiny we are and how much life is in a reef. It is impossible to capture it all and there are so many things in all the little cracks and crevices. Nature is amazing!🤩

Been wanting to get scuba certified. This may have pushed me over the edge, great videos.
You absolutely need to! There is something unique and special about scuba diving and seeing our fish and corals in the wild.🐡🤗

I hadn’t either until I went to Aruba lol. It one of the ABC islands. Geographically it is Aruba, Curaçao, and Bonaire which is around 50 miles away from Curaçao and above Venezuela. The entire island and coastline is all protected and has been for decades. They do a fantastic job at preserving and protecting it so no fish or corals are collected there and diving is amazing.
