Chill Diving on Bonaire
Diving on Bonaire is always great especially with friends. There is nothing jaw-dropping to see in this video, just the beautiful sea life on Bonaire. The highlight is around 8:25 in the video where I recorded a turtle bedding down in a soft coral for a nap. I've marked a couple of other highlights below.
I also added some video of our open-air penthouse apartment at Belmar just in case anyone is interested in staying there.
The divers are Jeff, Linda, Victoria, Kim and Tim.

Roatán: Diving the West End
Переглядів 8410 місяців тому
I hope you enjoy our latest dive video from West End Roatán. For me, these videos are a way to remember the experience and recall the many species we see while diving. After trips like this we like to look up the various species in our guides just to learn more about the creatures we encounter and their environment. Most of the many species of fish and other creatures we recorded are listed bel...
Tropical Storm Nicole Jensen Beach Causeway, Martin County, November 9 2022

This is some video taken before the arrival of Tropical Storm/Hurricane Nicole from the north side of the Jensen Beach Causeway in Martin County Florida. At least one boat broke from its anchor or mooring and is up against the causeway being battered by the waves.
Bonaire Turtle Nap

Just after descending to dive Thousand Steps, we spotted this turtle bedding down in a soft coral. At first, I thought it was somehow entangled in the coral, but you can see how relaxed the turtle is once it got comfortable.

Roatán Turtles
Переглядів 1225 років тому
I don’t think one can ever see enough sea turtles and the nice thing about Roatán is that we saw two or three on every dive. In the first scene, there are two turtles wrestling. I thought it may have been a form of mating behavior so I stayed well away so as to not disturb them. As it turned out, they were jostling over a nice piece of coral to scratch the back of their necks! Like this particu...
Roatán, Just the Rays
Переглядів 1495 років тому
This was my first time diving on the West End of Roatán and it did not disappoint. Thanks to the excellent dive guides at Splash Inn Dive Resort and Roatán Divers, we had ample opportunities to observe sea live. In this video, I focused on the eagle ray encounters (and one sting ray). On one dive I saw a group of three eagle rays soaring above the reef. Not fifteen minutes later we encountered ...

Bonaire Salt Pier

The Salt Pier dive site on Bonaire is once again open to divers when there are no ships present at the pier. The pier above water is not much to look at, but below water it takes on a cathedral-like quality and teems with aquatic life.

Slipper Lobster - Bonaire
Переглядів 2997 років тому
This was another great spot by John. He saw the slipper lobster moments before spotting a burrfish.
This is wonderful! What a great way to learn to identify the Caribbean Fish. Now what about all that coral?
We'll work on it next time we're back diving Bonaire 😀
Lovely. Thanks for sharing.
Love the Belmar! ...and Bonaire, of course!
Belmar is our favorite place to stay on Bonaire and we love the view from those penthouse apartments!
Thanks for the great video. I enjoyed going along with you, pausing the video, and trying to name all the fish in the foreground and background. I learned a couple new ones, too.
Thank you. It's always nice to hear when someone enjoys our dive videos. We put it together so that we could learn the fish!
At 1:38, the Sargeant Majors are guarding eggs, which are in the big purple, diamond shaped patch on the nearly vertical surface behind them!
WOW! How many dives did it take to get beautiful footage of so many creatures? Love the reef squid. And porcupines are a special fave. They’re the like the puppies of the ocean. Thank you for sharing. ❤
Thank you for your comment!
Fish are amazing!
Great video
Nice video. There is a Graysby comming from the left right at the end of the Goldentail Moray sequence (check black dots under dorsal fin)
Wow, great catch! I learned a new fish today 🙂

Nice to meet you! I'm making Japanese TV.Please check previous comment.
Great video. Makes me wanna go tomorrow, butt I will have to wait to october.
You will love it. Bonaire is amazing!
@@timlesniak01 I'm allready in love with Bonaire. My first visit was in 2002. And I am so happy to be able to go every couple of years!
Had to check your description for location. I thought Karpata. First time diving on Bonaire, saw a turtle doing this at Karpata. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
1:50min the cub is sooo cute in this close up angle.
If all the people posting inane immature comments about how animals are just like humans really tried to understand the reality these creatures face and the virtually guaranteed destruction of their habitats and eventual extinction of them and then did something about all these crimes against the planet their would maybe be a chance of saving these 'cuties', but alas people will not do a fucking thing to really help them.
Banana Spiders. Found I in most south east piney woods.
The mothers stare is terrifying.
Great video. I watch the live underwater cams all the time and this was an awesome learning tool to identify what I see. Thank you!
With family, but Alone without anyone to play with, haha
Alone, must be lonely or boaring!
I suppose by now that you've been told that the Trunkfish at 13:30 looked a lot like a honeycomb cowfish, ànd the Stoplight PF at the end was probably a Queen PF. There may have been another mistake or two, but I liked t he concept and I hope that you'll do another.
Thanks for the observations and for challenging me to look these fish up again! I'm not an expert, but I think in at least these two circumstances I correctly identified the fish. The smooth trunkfish does look a lot like a cowfish shape (and I'm guessing by shape they're closely related), but the pattern of dots are more trunkfish. As for the stoplight parrotfish, the thing that stands out to me are the bright colors on the tail. If you look this the stoplight pf up on wikipedia the photo shows the same tail pattern. I couldn't find photos of a queen pf that have that tail pattern. BTW, soon after I posted this video, I did get a bunch of corrections and additions. I posted a second video (linked in the description) that has the additional info.
@Tim Lesniak Hi Tim. It's very nice of you to reply so quickly. About the trunkfish or cowfish (they're related, I believe) the coloring is very much like the trunkfish, and that's What I thought until the end of the clip when he turned and I thought I saw the honeycomb pattern. As for the parrot fish, it was also the coloration, but today see exactly what you mean about the tail, so I'm going to withdraw my statement. Also, you had eyeballs on it, and that's far superior to looking at a video. Allow me to share the website I use for reference: reefguide.org/carib/index6.html. Again, thanks for this beautiful and informative video. I used to dive regularly and have taken three trips to Bonaire (and Aruba) before all the coral bleaching. But I am now too old and disabled to manage it, so, I dive by proxy with these videos thanks to folks like you. 👏 Best wishes, Tim. 👌
@@kwgm8578 You are too kind. Bonaire is a special place. Let me turn you on to a UA-cam channel that I've been watching lately. The videos (much better than mine) are from a couple that lives and dives on Bonaire. They cover a lot of dive sites and they really know their fish! Maybe it will bring back some good memories. Take care. ua-cam.com/channels/fJfJ0aCS8erHggMnk_-kJg.html
Sooo pretty. This is heaven
Why can't you people leave the cub alo ne; he wants privacy.
🐯🦁🐯🦁
Very cleaver lion cub
nice video............thank you.......
You're on thetanster.com!
Awesome Vid !!
2:20 I wonder why it is that dung if the pups are arriving so much later than the first gaggle of them. What were they doing? Where were they? Why late?

I was thinking the cub is so extremely cute and beautiful and then saw his magnificent daddy and moms, wow!!! 😍😍🤩🤩 I just like to pick him up and run away, just kidding about that! 😛
You missed mentioning the parrotfish in your list at the end of the description
I mentioned the Trumpetfish and the Stoplight Parrotfish at 21:19 in the video. Did I miss one? One of the cool things about Bonaire is the variety of parrotfish species. Some of them are huge!
@@timlesniak01 - maybe but repetition of the name helps with the identification. The updated video also does not mention it at the end. Another comment is that the name is shown extremely briefly which by the time one tries to read the name he misses the fish and vice versa
@@biloz2988 Thanks for the feedback

Are these lion's sedated, this is not normal that they lay there and not respond.
No, the lions were not sedated. They were just relaxing in the cool sand of this dry riverbed at the end of a warm day. Hours later they would be hunting under the darkness of night.
What an amazing sighting and a beautiful pride! ❤️🐾😊 That little cubbie was just looking for trouble. I can’t believe his dad was so easygoing. Thank you for sharing.
This cube was looking for something to do, however, no one wanted to do anything with him, he felt boring, he decided to drink 🍸 milk from Mama.
Bonaire is a great place for diving!!! I have been there twice and I would like to come back. A place where you can dive many times a day, cook with your friends, very cool!
AWESOME VIDEO
"Your son is awake." "Before sunrise, he's your son."
What a naughty little boy that cub is on safari in South Africa but just gorgeous to think he's so cute but very soon he will be an apex predator
Wake up momma the people are trying to get me. Daddy, daddy get up, get up and help me. Auntie, Auntie.... Someone get up😼😾 Finally!🙄
Totally fecundating they have so many in single litters. Wow
5:00 so adorable. If only the hunters and executioners knew this about them would they still have tried to wipe them out..?
hands down likely the best puppy feeding video capture ever
4:00 i wonder did they drink her dry or just had enough????
3:10 i adore these creatures, long way from when i loathed them as i was ignorant of them. amazing they the pups dont fight over or try to push off another one from a nipple
2:55 i wonder if mothers have some kind of hormone or something that relaxes them while feeding.. also wonder how much strain the weight of them sucking and pulling down effects on her back. i just find it so amazing mothers instinctively know to feed the young, and the pups know to suck from a nipple.
@malamala game reserve
Very nice. Was this all one dive or several? 🤔
No, this was not one dive. We typically go to Bonaire for a week and get in somewhere between 18 to 20 dives. However, for this video I may have combined a couple years worth of recordings. My wife and I put it together to try to get better at identifying the fish you typically see on Bonaire. We also wanted an introduction to identification for new divers in our group.
Nice video. Loved roatan. Even briefly worked at splash inn. Got me as a subscriber and looking forward where you go next. Keep on diving!
Thanks for the kind words. I can't wait to get back to Roatán. Hopefully wherever you are you are able to get some diving in. We were supposed to be on Bonaire this week but had to put it off until next year. When things take a turn for the better Roatán will be at the top of our list.
@@timlesniak01 bonaire is awesome whe it comes to diving. I am currently editing a series of videos i shot there. Why not head over to my channel and have a look? Would appreciate our feedback very much. 😊
