Belmar - Bonaire

Hmmm, I don't know. I'll have to watch the video again. I googled congor
eel and they didn't look that familiar. We've seen congo eels in cold water
but maybe it is the same.
Thanks
Wade

He said it wasn't blue and looked like a ribbon eel....which would not be of
the Conger Eel family, during any growth phase. What he probably saw was a
adolescent, maybe juvenile, Sharp-tail (Snake Eel), which does indeed look
like a ribbon eel and goes through a variety of color phases, and patterns,
while maturing. You usually do not see them free-swimming until adult, so it
was a good find.

You're right, I reread the post and he said it wasn't blue. Just trying to be
helpful.

Nah, it's great. Fish and critter ID is so hard sometimes it takes the
experience of many different divers for one to figure out what it was they
saw. I think we all have shots of something we just can't put a name on, no
matter how many books we refer to.

Stayed at Belmar. VERY nice resort. Rooms are clean and well maintained.
Good management. They do provide clean towels as needed, but only clean the
suites every other day. Sheets twice a week. The patios are are all large
and have a great view of the water. We stayed in room 3, which is right in
front of the pier. Good choice. Room 10, the end room on the ground floor
has a HUGE patio right ON the water. Toucan Diving on site, as are tanks
for diving. Only the bedrooms are air cond, however, with anyplace that is
a suite/apt set up, that is how they do it. If you have just a hotel room,
it is air cond. Have a wonderful time. The water was 87*
