...a really neat live cam that is in Bonaire National Marine Park located somewhere around Aruba...

I keep hearing everyone mention seeing some really cool things on this webcam and I thought to myself, "Why aren't we sharing these sites?"

So here's how you do it: While watching the live marine cam, change your refresh time to 2s and keep your finger close to the PrtSc (Print Screen) key on your keyboard - which ironically will copy your screen instead of printing it. Therefore, when you see something cool, press the PrtSc button to copy what's on your screen and then go open up MS Paint (Start > Programs > Accessories > Paint). When you get that program open, click Ctrl+V to paste your image, crop edit as needed, and then upload the photos to this thread.

I watched a little earlier today and never saw any Great Whites or anything, but it's still amazing to watch the underwater life!

VERY COOL!

I was diving there last christmas, just spectacular. Some of the best diving I have ever had. They have a pier dive near the south end of the island that at dusk or dawn is awesome.

The reef was in great shape compared to some of the other caribbean islands I've dived at.

It's awesome - you can't view it now since it's night time, but tomorrow check it out. Capture a few good shots and post them here...

Bump for today. Just caught these shots. They're no Spotted Eagle Ray, but nice none the less

BigPaul! Awesome! Just Awesome! I've watched that Trumpetfish bob around in the distance for a long time and was wondering when it would come close enough to the camera. Also, cool shots with the diver! I was wondering if any human visitors ever came by. The shots of the Creole Fish with the Cirolanid Isopod is cool, too.

bigpaul2600 · 08/13/2007, 10:34 AM

Thanks Travis, Here are some more shots I just happened to look over as this guy swam into view... I have some more good shots I'll upload later
