The CID Club Trip to Bonaire!

 

Bonaire is an island about 24 miles long and 3 miles wide, 50 miles off
the coast of Venezuela.

October 18, 2025, 10 Channel Islands Divers club members arrived in Bonaire at the Buddy Dive Resort to enjoy the sights and incredible diving available in that part of the Caribbean. The week-long trip included 3 boat dives. In addition to this, there were many beach dive sites which most of us tried our hand (our fins?) at.

​

The island, though not big, had its share of sights to see, including
the Bonaire National Park.

The presentation will include photos, videos and narration of the entire
trip.

Rob's Dive Bio

​

​I began diving in 1974 and shortly after decided to become a
commercial diver. In 1975 I attended the Commercial Dive Center in
Wilmington, California, a school for commercial diving. I was hired in
early 1976 by a company out of Singapore where I began my career as a
commercial oilfield diver. I spent 7 years working as a commercial diver
diving to depths up to 445 feet.

I didn’t dive for quite a while after leaving the industry but then
decided to get back to recreational diving. About 5 years ago I got
recertified. At the same time my wife became certified. Shortly
thereafter my daughter was certified, and became the youngest member of the club!
