You never let us down! It must be so much nicer in person, of course.

How neat to finally see zoanthids in a reef. I never see them in reef pictures posted. All those bubble tip anemones in the rockwork, looking all snuggly for the clownfish.

Do you see a lot of Crown of Thorns starfish in the reef? I know it isn't allowed, but I wish we could remove them to protect the corals from their destruction.

those clams are sick. bout how big are they?

edr42 · 07/17/2007, 06:20 PM

most of the clams are around a foot in length, with the biggest ones being 4 to 5 feet.

blide · 07/20/2007, 08:08 AM

stathis · 07/27/2007, 10:44 AM

Its one of the most beatiful threat i've ever seen

edr42 Thank you so much for sharing.
You give us the opportunity to dive with you for some minutes , even if we are working .
I'm expecting your next dive.

This is one of the most amazing threads I have ever read I just finished reading all of it and want to say thank you and ask you to please keep sharing.

I am surprized a mod hasn't moved this to a forum where it can be seen by more people, I just happened to find it because I am thinking of getting into diving in the next year or two and your pics have convinced me that I really want to. Once again THANK YOU!!!!

I've not been on here in a while, and was checking out the diving board and came across this truly gem of a thread... I don't think I've enjoyed a thread more, than this. My dream dive trip has been Bonaire recently, but I think a new one has just popped it's head up! Pictures, AmAZING.... info, AMAZING... the utter enjoyment, PRICELESS! Thanks so much for sharing!!!

cutnup · 08/12/2007, 06:05 PM
