The Azul Ocean June 2010 Newsletter
Hello from The Azul Ocean by Arthur Koch.
During May we traveled to Bonaire, Netherland Antilles for an action packed week of diving. And did we have fun!! Twenty-two dives: 20 hours and 45 minutes of bottom time in 6 days. Now…that’s what I call a vacation! I was able to get a great picture of a Yellowhead Jawfish, incubating its eggs; this is my personal highlight of the trip! I spent several dives checking on the cache and my dive buddies thought I was a little crazy. I’ll let the picture speak for itself. Check out the complete trip report.
We have added galleries on the web site for expeditions to Coco’s Islands, Costa Rica 2002, Saba and St. Kitts 2003 and California in 2003 , and updated Bonaire to include images form our May 2010 trip. We have also added a picture from each location to our portfolio.
