About the Photography:

We are not professional photographers and really are still newbies (although improving). If you want to see truly spectacular photos check out Dave Read's Page!

That being said, I think I'm becoming pretty good with the N90s/SLR, and Beth and I are starting our research on U/W video housings to get her into her true love! Maybe next year you'll see MPEGs on this site!!!

Bonaire Books

We have two books on Bonaire:

We strongly recommend Jackson's guide -- not only is it much newer, but he tends to have more practical information. However, Schnabel is more complete, and there were a few sites that Jackson skipped that Schnabel still covered (and that were still open for diving).

So that's the trip! Coming soon, our August 2001 Flower Gardens Rodale's Scuba Diving group trip!
