Welcome to this video | Bonaire - Diving Off The Beaten Path ep. 35 | A Diver's Life

It's prime tourism season again, in the Caribbean, and divers want to know how to go see the cool stuff. With so many divers in the water the marine life moves to where it is quiet and where the reef life is less impacted by humans. In this episode we will discuss two key skills that will help you leave the herd of divers to get to these more remote places. We will then take you to the Weber's Joy dive site to show you how to use one of these skills - the use of navigational landmarks. We will then use these skills to take you the rarely seen second reef at Chez Hines to see sleeping nurse sharks, a southern ray, lionfish, and more. We then take you to the remote Playa Benge's deep water ledge to see rare Orange sea fan black coral, brilliant red barrel sponges, deep water coral and more. We will also see a seldom seen large yellowfin grouper, tarpon, schools of fish, as well as a large tiger grouper. Dominique Serafini, Jacques Cousteau's illustrator and a dear friend of ours, joins us on the adventure and we will show you artwork he made for us from the trip.
