Tamas Vincze: "Diving in Bonaire"

Bonaire is a paradise for divers and snorkelers, often called the shore diving capital of the world. This small Caribbean island has 90 dive sites, 55 of them are accessible from the shore, offering everything from shallow soft coral forests to steep reef walls. Its surrounding waters is a designated marine sanctuary since 1979 and home to over 350 species of fish and nearly every species of hard and soft corals found in the Caribbean. It’s divable year-round and has incredible visibility.

Tamas is a long-time snorkeler fascinated by the ocean who tried scuba three years ago and fell in love with it to the point that he logged 100 dives within a little over a year. He can be found at a Cape Ann dive site on the weekends during the wetsuit season and loves to travel to warmer waters during the winter. He’ll share his experiences on such a trip to Bonaire, which was his first dive trip without the family.

Please join us for the MetroWest Dive Club's General Meeting for the presentation.

Diving in New England

What is it like to dive New England?

The video below tries to convey a sense of what diving in New England is like; cold water, low vis, and great wildlife. It was produced by William Skelly and the underwater photos in it were taken over the course of five years by Steve Bigelow, Steven Jaques, Robert Landy, and Bobby Joe. (Video subtitles are available.)

iDive New England is the ultimate SCUBA community resource for diving in New England, where you can find dive site info, charter boats, local clubs and shops, regulations and much more.
