Bonaire's
pristine reefs and diverse marine life are unique to the
Caribbean. Because the waters around Bonaire are designated
as an official marine park, diving Bonaire is like diving
the Caribbean the way it used to be - untouched and
unspoiled. The island's location in the south Caribbean
gives it an arid climate with little rainfall; consequently,
the waters are exceptionally clear of silt, calm, and
divable year round. It is an ideal destination for
underwater photographers. Water temperatures average a warm
78-84°F (25.6-28.9°C), with visibility often averaging over
100 feet(30m), and frequently, up to 150 feet (55m).

Continental operates scheduled
Non-Stop round-trip air service departing Newark Liberty
Airport on Saturdays at 11:55 p.m. and arriving in Bonaire on
Sundays at 5:30 a.m. (flight #CO1553). The return flight #1556
will depart Bonaire on Sundays at 7:00 a.m. and will arrive into
Newark at 10:50 a.m. (flight times seasonal).
Over the last two decades, Bonaire
has consistently ranked as the finest snorkeling and scuba
diving destination in the Caribbean. A major reason for this
prominence is the island's diligent stewardship of its marine
resources -- all of the waters off Bonaire's coast have been
legally protected since 1979, and it shows.
But there is plenty more to do
here. The unusually steady trade winds that wash over the island
create ideal conditions for world-class windsurfing, and the
sere beauty of its semi-desert landscape is home to an
outlandish assortment of wildlife. Iguanas meditatively toast
themselves atop the desert rock formations of Washington
Slagbaai, while vast orange-pink clouds of flamingoes drift
across bone-white salt flats. Divi-divi trees bend into surreal
sculptures of the wind itself, and towering cacti stand as
reminders of the Caribbean's diverse ecology.
We invite you to explore all
these aspects of Bonaire -- and more -- in the pages that
follow. Our dive pages offer the most up-to-date and
comprehensive coverage of Bonaire diving on the world wide web,
including site descriptions, service providers, and a Marine
Park profile.

Fall 2010
Underwater enthusiasts will
want to dive right into the clear waters of the St. Lawrence
River to explore the many wrecks that rest on the riverbed.
Some of the best freshwater scuba diving in the world exists
in the 1000 Islands region. The water clarity provides
excellent underwater visibility. Horizontal visibility of
50-70 feet in 100 depths is not unusual. There is no thermo
cline in this area allowing for very comfortable diving
temperatures from May through October. Most importantly,
Clayton is accessible to many of the quality wrecks that lay
on the bottom of the St. Lawrence.
The strong current found in some area of the St. Lawrence
River creates excellent drift diving conditions for those
who seek artifacts. However, the many islands provide wind
protection so divers can always find an alternative site,
even in inclement weather.
 |
The St. Lawrence River offers a variety of diving
sites from quite challenging to suitable for the
novice. Many shipwrecks can be visited in one day
trips. Because of the increase in Zebra mussels and
DEC water cleanup the river's clarity is tremendous
(Usually 60'. or better). Best of all it is within
driving distance.

North Carolina's impressive
diving conditions are made possible by the state's unique
coastal geography and extensive maritime history. The Gulf
Stream, carrying the warm, blue water from the Caribbean,
produces eddies - areas containing Gulf Stream water but
devoid of its strong current. These eddies engulf North
Carolina's offshore waters and routinely provide divers with
tropical fish, large marine animals, 80-degree water
temperatures, and 75+ feet of visibility.
In addition, North Carolina waters have long existed as a
segment of the heavily trafficked shipping lanes of the
eastern U.S. seaboard. During WWII, Hitler's U-boats
terrorized merchant vessels, sending many to their permanent
resting ground 100 feet beneath the sea. These tragedies,
combined with the long history of vessels claimed by the
unforgiving shoals along the Outer Banks, gave North
Carolina a virtually unsurpassed collection of shipwrecks
and earned its waters the title The Graveyard of the
Atlantic.
Bathed by the clear, warm waters of the Gulf Stream, the
coast of North Carolina offers some of the best scuba and
wreck diving in the United States. Whether interested in
sight-seeing, underwater photography, maritime or military
history, a technical diver or just beginning, the abundant
marine life and numerous shipwrecks of North Carolina offer
something for scuba divers of all interests and skill
levels.
Payment due in full at the time of the reservation. Any
cancellations made 30 days prior to the trip departure must
be made in WRITING or by FAX (201-440-9061). Confirmed
cancellations will receive a refund, less 10% for
administrative processing fees. Cancellations made 29 days
or less from the departure date are not eligible for a
refund and there is no refund for no-show divers.
