Rec Diving's annual trip to Bonaire was a week filled with fun - both topside and underwater. As always, the diving and snorkeling was easy and relaxing. We enjoyed critters galore on the boat each day and on the house reef at Divi Flamingo Beach Resort. Schools of jacks, squid, frog fish, turtles, tarpon, barracuda, sea horses, moray eels and a very friendly octopus were among our favorite sightings. Bonaire's reefs are healthy and teeming with fish. We enjoyed nightly sunset dives and even a few dives at sunrise!

During our Rec Diving trip to the Straits of Mackinac, WXYZ-TV videographer Chris Jones captured his dives on video with an incredibly compact Hero head-mounted camera. It was really cool! Rec Diving trip leader Frank Aloia shared with Chris his knowledge about the history of wrecks, and we were all excited to see some of our favorite dives featured on the local news.

A great big Happy New Year to you! The holiday season at Rec Diving was busy with new diver certifications on both Rec Diving holiday trips to Bonaire and Cayman Brac. Both holiday trips were full of laughter, adventure, new friends and LOTS of underwater beauty. Now, we start the New Year thankful for the special time we spend exploring the ocean and especially grateful for our many opportunities to introduce new divers and snorkelers to our beautiful underwater world. Topside, we're excited to be adding a blog to our website to share with all of you even more about what's happening at Rec Diving. What’s in store?
