Market Friday dives into Bonaire

in #marketfriday5 years ago (edited)


Today is #MarketFriday by @dswigle (Denise, that's me!!) I hope you will join me as we share different markets across the globe. I always look forward to seeing what you send me! It is amazing to see so many different markets and different cultures.


Please leave the link to your post on here so it can easily be found by others. They are easier to find in one place. Where else can you take such a quick trip around the globe? Thank you so much!! ❤

I have been to so many new places lately! I love to share and be shared with! I have always and forever liked to see different fruits and vegetables or products that are being sold. Perhaps I cannot get them here. So, yes! I would love to see yours! Don't forget to take photos wherever you happen to be shopping - whether it be the grocery store, the local marketplace or even an art gallery. Wherever money is exchanged for a service or for merchandise. Be different if you wish! It does not have to be a traditional market! We will love it! I promise you! Don't forget to use the hashtag #MarketFriday and @dswigle.

Today is @MarketFriday and today I would love to show you why I love the island of Bonaire! It is easily a direct flight from Washington, DC south to the South American borders. Bonaire is a world-famous site that offers some of the best diving in the Caribbean. Bonaire is far enough south (about 50 miles north of Venezuela) that it is below the track of Caribbean hurricanes. What many people may not think about is that hurricanes create a lot of sediment off the ocean floor decreasing underwater visibility and often damaging coral reefs. The reefs and water clarity are exceptional in part because the Dutch had the foresight to established the Bonaire National Marine Park in 1979… which has one of the world's most active management of its marine resources. To my knowledge, it is the oldest Marine Park anywhere.

It is so nice to be able to rent an apartment close enough to walk to the dive shops. After all, if you are coming to Bonaire, you are coming to dive, It isn't a typical Caribbean-type island, although the nature lover in you will want to self tour the place.

STOP!! BRAIN TEASER AHEAD!!

Question: In a year, there are 12 months. Seven months have 31 days. How many months have 28 days?

Answer: All of them

Ocean currents approach the island from the east, so the entire western side has calm, clear water and a reef that runs the entire length of the west coast, and it is only a short swim from shore. While most dive locations are reached by boat and sometimes shore diving (where you walk into the water from the beach), Bonaire’s famous for its 60-official walk-off dive sites on the west coast (and another three on the southeast coast). At Bonaire, when you get a package deal from the dive shop, it usually includes a vehicle which is mostly pick-up trucks. If yours is not included in your arrangement, many dive sites will rent one to you. Then you are able to drive to the sight of your choice, park, swim, and scuba!

But as a “tourist,” how do you find these dive sites? Easy!! They have a map that shows the name and number of the dive site…they are extremely easy to find! Roads are few on the island. Getting lost is almost impossible. Back to the dive sites! #1 site is the furthest north and # 61 is the furthest south - although 61 catches some of the open ocean and while it is much better than 62 and 63, is not as good as the other 60!). Did you get all that??

The Queen’s Highway follows the beach along the west and while the map tells basically where your desired dive spot is, when you get close enough, you look for the pull-off’s which lead to parking lots on their shore. Each dive site has two white stones, one at either side of the pull-off. One of the stones will have the dive site’s name painted on it and the other will have the number of the dive site. If you ever have the opportunity to dive Bonaire, “just do it”!!!


PICT0237 Bonaire.JPG


The dive shops there are so easy to work with. You bring back two empty tanks, get two full ones. Easy as a Sunday morning. Oh, yes! I wish diving everywhere was this easy. It is a remarkable little island just a wink away from Venezuela. The people were amazingly friendly and so very helpful. There is a town of sorts, but, nothing really to buy, although I am sure that will all change as the tourist trade ramps up. I am going back for a few days in two weeks. Perhaps I will get some fresh pictures, you just never know. I must say that expenses were minimal or a trip like this and I know this is another very unusual #MarketFriday, but, isn't that point? Seeing what your money will buy in different places. I even hired a driver on one trip which only cost $25.00 for the whole day, gas included. Oh, yes!

We must have a flower. Always a flower.

The loveliness of you never escapes me
May I gaze upon you, always and a day?


https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmaVNbAvffeCXR4fmgQGySmwSL8Ek99rVpDLbdHm9UvL4w


Love me ‘til I’m blue, my love
Wipe my every tear
Catch my heart before I fall
I'm strolling the line, can't you see
Far and away
Never to play
That melody to my heart
Again

Love me, love me - Do

This flower is dedicated to #FridaySkyBlue #ColorChallenge by @Kalemandra. It wouldn't be a day with our colors.

    Later that night
    I held an atlas in my lap
    Ran my fingers across the whole world
    And whispered,
    "Where does it hurt?"
    It answered,

    "Everywhere"
    "Everywhere"
    "Everywhere"

This post is so DEEP lol. Very enjoyable! One day I would love to go there. I know guys on YouTube that combine scuba and metal detecting !! That would be so cool!

Here is my MF post, in by 9pm, not too shabby!!

Omg! Brilliant, right? Scuba and metal detecting! How are you going to hold your camera?

Hehe

It sounds like it would be fun! You'll have to get certified before you go on your cruise! I think you would have a lot of fun!

I think it would be difficult but to be honest, there is a lot of stuff rolling around in the surf or falling off fishing boats.

Thank you for such a kind comment. Bonaire is a tiny little island, being only 24 miles long and 3 to 7 miles across, depending where you are. It sits 50 miles off the coast of Venezuela.

It doesn't have much of a nightlife, but with diving like that, who needs one?

Thanks for stopping by and saying hello, leaving your words behind you.

All my pleasure, thank you so much for your kind reply, Denise :)
I can imagine that it would be nice to make holidays there - I don't like nightlife anyway, and maybe I would try diving ;)


A hot morning !COFFEEA is very important for me to wake up 😉

Thanks for the beer! @pixresteemer!

Such a pretty place! I love anyplace with a brightly painted building like the yellow one in the pictures. Where I live every building is brick or white...so boring! Very cool underwater shots. Little bitty fish are so much fun to see when you're in the ocean. Looks like you had a great adventure. Happy travels!

This trip is all about the adventures!! I'll be in Columbia for a few days and am looking forward to the architecture. And the culture. Love the culture.

I post and takes less pictures when away, thinking I would rather live in the moment than miss anything, but occassionally, I remember to.

Hope all is well with you and yours!! 💖

Wooooow! It is a very pretty place to dive. There are also very beautiful diving spots here in the Philippines.

The beauty of the deep is really breathtaking. I haven't experienced diving before, only snorkeling, but even with that I am deeply in awe with the wonders of the deep!!! 😍

Thank you for sharing this, Denise. Someday, I will also dive and share its beauty here on Steemit. Hehehe! 😂😁 @dswigle

And I will be posting my #MarketFriday in a few hours. Hehehe. 😂

Thank you so much for such a sweet reply. I too am amazed by life down under. I have heard that the Philippines has beautiful diving. That's not very hard to believe. Given where it's located but It makes me just a little bit envious because I have to actually get on a plane. To get somewhere like that.

It seems funny to me that there is another whole life down under. , one that not everyone gets to see but one that is just incredibly beautiful. I hope you are having a great weekend and thank you so much for supporting the challenge. I look forward to seeing you post!

I am amazed at how well everything is organized on the island. I really like his name, Bonaire! It makes me think of a place where it is pleasant to live. I'm convinced you feel like ... fish in the water!
Of course, the photos. Perfect, as always!

I also love the name Bonaire and it sounds just like the perfect little Island. It's not very crowded there and is mostly uninhabited with National Seashore and of course Beach because it's an island. The entire island is made up of coral. That's how it was formed Which makes for a very interesting landscape.

This was the very first place I saw a pack of flamingos flying in the wild. I've never seen that site and it was an amazing sight. This is the only place I've ever seen them. Flying dozens and dozens at a Time, because they nest there.

I think comparing it to a fish's kind of cool and can't say that you're wrong, but it's just different. I think that you would like it. Have you ever considered it? It's a whole different world under there. Well as you can tell, I am away. Once again and I just want to let you know. How much it means to you that you support the market Friday challenge. I hope you have a great weekend.

#MarketFriday loves you!

!tip

I am absolutely sure I would like the island, especially since you mentioned corals and flamingos! Thank you for showing me and telling me that there is such a place on earth.
I will never go there, the distances I take into account are much smaller.
Last week I didn't post to #marketfriday, I wasn't inspired enough. I did not want to participate with something that was not done with all my heart.
If it is a holiday, I wish you the maximum!

Wow! What a magical world under the sea! One could lose the sense of time and just float among beautiful sea creatures and dreamy surrounding.

I hope you per chance had a glimpse of a mermaid or mystical sea people!

Exactly!! Time stands srill as you float about, but your senses are alive with acrivity down there. Sometimes, the peaceful aura fills your soul and other times, so many different species, living in the same fishbowl.

Oh, who doesn't want to catch a glimpse of the mythical mermaid? Under the sea? Thank you for stopping by and saying hello, leaving your words behind.

There truly is nothing that compares to breaktaking underwater sights in coral reefs! After experiencing it one time you're hooked!⛵

I think the song "Under the Sea" from "The Little Mermaid" sums things up perfectly for your remarkable post and incredible underwater photographs! @dswigle

Under the sea
Under the sea
Darling it's better
Down where it's wetter
Take it from me
Up on the shore they work all day
Out in the sun they slave away
While we devotin'
Full time to floatin'
Under the sea
🦀🧜‍♀️🐠🐡

Hope you're having a terrific vacation, Denise!
I'll swing by later and drop a link💓

I think you are so right and there is nothing that compares to the magical world under the sea. And the song fits perfectly!

Who doesn't love mermaids?

Good morning, Lovely!🔆

What a nice surprise seeing you stopped by!
I really appreciated reading your sweet comments this morning. You're very flattering and set the bar high with the warm fuzzies you leave so many of us on Steemit along with generous tips! A big "Thank you, Denise!"💓

Glad you liked the song choice. Sometimes the first tune that comes to mind is the one go with. You being a mom, I'm sure you've even watched "The Little Mermaid" a time or two with your kids!

Enjoy yourself and I look forward to hearing about your vacation! @dswigle🏖

That is funny because I left an actual nice comment and my phone sort of ate it. A few of them, but happy the connection worked this morning. I think you leave the most heartfelt comments around these parts. Perhaps because of your own life experiences, but more likely, it's who you are. I always look forward to them. Thank you! 💖

What a breathtaking place with a lot of character. I’ve never attempted diving myself. Those scuba diving spots are epic and seem like they be worth any fears someone would have about in doing so.

Happy market Friday and have a great weekend.

Bonaire is a popular diving spot, without being overcrowded. It has incedible coral reefs, as a matter of fact, the entire island is made up of coral.

It was here that I saw my first flamingo colony flying overhead to their nesting place, here on the island. What a sight! I was so excited as it was a foreign sight to me.

All in all, it is a wonderful trip!

Wow, you scuba dive too? You are full of surprises! I got certified in 1978, PADI and NAUI. I love it! I haven't been to Bonaire, but it looks and sounds like it's got some great dive sites.

Awesome photos as always, and now there are underwater gems from you! Got any more? :) Have a great weekend!

Wow!! 1978? You have been a long time diver! I've only been kicking the surf for four years.

Bonaire is a divers paradise! They make it so easy to got a beach shack, tanks and a car. Boom. One stop shopping.

It is pretty exciting, life down under and when a lot of the family goes, even more exciting. More pictures? :) Seriously?

Hi, Jj! @tattoodjay I didnt know you snorkeled! You right though, it certainly is a wonderful world down there.

Bonaire is a pretty cool little island, right off the coast of Venezuela. The entire island is made up of coral, which is unusual and makes for interesting terrain.

You may never get there, but I am envious of some of the cool places you have been to!

I always wanted to do scuba diving but I can't swim, so instruction didn't work for me. I tried snorkeling but it was a rough experience. I just love those pictures and thanks for sharing your words with us. The underwater world is amazing, isn't it?

The underwater world is amazing! You actually don't need to swim to dive because you always have flotation devices on. Handicapped people dive.

I would feel better knowing how to swim, but if you really want to, its possible. Some people sink like rocks when learning to swim.

Even so, I am glad you can enjoy its beaty from afar!

#MarketFriday loves you!

it looks like a fun market you have there. The beauty of the sea is one of my favorite. The beach is the place where it makes me comfortable.. Anyway here's mine, just simple. hehe

I agree! I love the ocean and the life they have. There is so much to do and see. Bonaire is end of a cool place because the island just made up entirely of coral. The underwater life is even more amazing than the island itself. . Thank you for stopping by and leaving your words and dropping your link. . I hope you have a wonderful day. !

I can see why you're going back to this diver's paradise, the undersea shots look lovely!
That trick question caught me once before;)
Enjoy your trip back there!

Oh, yes! The trick question was not really tricky because I had to use to pay for which I admitted right up front. . For some reason my computer would not hook up here in South America But it's not South America itself, but my computer I think because it did this last time I was on vacation. . I tend to forget that I don't really many places with the laptop. Because Really? There is no reason. However, I do like the post from the laptop and hate doing it on the phone. So unfortunately, there has been a real Post in since I've been away. . Anyway I want to thank you for stopping by and saying hello and leaving you words behind. !

Thank you for the kind tip!

Beautiful Pictures. I didn't realize you are a diver, too! I've never been diving there, but I did go a few place in the Caribbean ~ Punta Cana Dominican Republic (no good) and near Cancun, Mexico in a cenote (amazing).

Oh and I got a #MarketFriday post to share~

Yes! Cacun, Cozumel and the like have amazing divingas does Bonaire. Nobody like Dominican Republic, although many give it a try.

They have a swwet set uo in Bonaire. Fly in and they provide hotel rooms on the dock, truck for your stay and endless tanks, where you trade in one empty or two and get back full ones. Best way to go!

Thanks for your support and #steemit love! Sorry it has taken so ling, still much appreciated.

Thanks so much @tipu and to my friend @dswigle, I always enjoy your posts.
Uplifting and pleasant.
Enjoy your weekend.

Enjoyed your post and wonderful pics. 😊 Interesting approach to your marketfriday challenge, gave me some ideas, as I didn’t come up with one this week. Rainy weather in Jersey. Enjoy your island time @dswigle 🥰

We truly stretch what we call a market! Great latitude and being creative is encouraged! 😁

There are only so many different stores I could find, so i decided long ago, the approach needed to change or i would run out!

Thanks for your support!

I loved all of the beautiful underwear pictures. I have never been diving before...I am too afraid of the unknowns I may encounter. I can imagine how even more beautiful it looked in person. I’m glad I get to see places like this through your eyes, I really appreciate posts like these.

It’s good to see how well #MarketFriday is doing and how loved and popular it is! 💛

Nice work ~

Thank you so much, lovely one. We all step out into the unknown with faith, but, we have learned about blind faith. It's safe if you know what you are doing, much like anything else. Driving, walking across a road, swimming.

The more you do it, the more your comfort level goes up. Thank you so much for your suppirt and sm#steemit love!

Thank you for sharing that. It is true about blind faith. I miss out on so much because I struggle with certain fears :(

I really appreciate you ~ 💗

Thanks so much for the tip!

XOXO My pleasure! I had such a great time, I haven't even gotten home yet and made more reservations for May! :)
