Comments Following radiation treatments for cancer, I arrived in Bonaire where we have been diving for over 30 years. March 2020. I did 26 shore/boat dives in 12 days. Yay. We left just prior to the pandemic flight restrictions. Bonaire is great for macro photography and shore diving. Schools of fish, lots of critters, not much current. Close to dive shop. Many excellent photographs. Can be viewed on Fine Art America website - Robert Wrenn.

Bonaire is a macro capital of the Caribbean. Tremendous variety and easy diving near the shore with OK lighting (need strobe to capture correct colors)and no current and easy access.
