    Thank you for this loving tribute to Bruce. What a truly amazing person he was. We stayed at Carib Inn pre-Covid, and I was so amazed by him and his staff. Years ago he saved my butt by repairing my Poseidon regulator that had been damaged during the flight. He would not charge me for the repair, even though he spent over a half hour working on the thing! And at the time I was not even staying at the resort! I always pledged to return.
    I like how you are packing a lot of information into this video. Not just pretty pictures, so thank you for the extra effort involved. Perhaps we will meet when my wife and I return to Bonaire.

      Thank you Blake. Bruce was an amazing man and he was also the key person responsible for returning Klein Bonaire to the people of Bonaire. We would love to meet you if you are on island. Safe travels my friend.

    By this video, the Divers that are lucky enough to visit Bonaire (that includes me) have done a great job with the Lion fish.

    Really enjoyed the video, thanks for sharing! Those of us who love Bonaire owe a lot to Bruce Bowker and to Capt'n Don Stewart who started it all.

      We are so glad you liked it Linda. Yes, we owe a lot to Bruce and Don who indeed started it all. Here is a name from the past: Aquaventure

      Thank you so much Kornel! The airlines should open direct flights soon. Over 13,000 have their first shots here.

    The videos are getting better.

      Thank you! It is a process. Shooting in 4K was our big step this time. The challenge for me was learning how the camera responded to 4K recording which was much different than 1080p. ISO and record quality pushed the camera to its limits as did the computer editing capability. It takes a lot of computing power to edit 4K video as I found out. The other challenge this time was the camera housing broke the on/off button (Nauticam design flaw) and we had to send the camera back to Florida for repair losing a few weeks of film time. It is all good to go now. Thank you for the feedback!

      Lol. Thank you. I remember editing the video and thinking I needed to keep the person riding the bike in there. Thank you for being part of the video.

      I see you liked the DreamWrecks video of the Windjammer withe Dominque and Cathy. Check out our channel video The Aquanaut Artist and the two videos interviews we have with Dominique and Cathy on Cousteau.

    I love Rappel-thank you for this video and for the fish/coral identification. Question: Did you discard the lionfish for the Lobster to find?

  • @greymarshall2002

    Been looking for Captian Don Stewart’s book, Reef Windows…. Is it out of print?? I’ve had no luck. Head to Captian Don’s Habitat in a few weeks and would like to read his books. Any ideas??

    • @ADiversLife

      Hi Grey, they almost certainly have it at the store next to the Rum Runners restaurant

  • @michaelpement9413

    Very nice video Rich. Was the Lionfish taken by the Lobster already dead or wounded?

    • @ADiversLife

      Thank you Michael. It got out of Doreen's zookeeper. It was not in good shape. She needs a new funnel.
