In April 2015, we went to Bonaire for the second time. It is the perfect place to experiment with a new camera, and I had a lot of fun learning to use my Nikon D7100 in a Nauticam housing with a Tokina 10-17mm fisheye lens. Being on a rebreather allows you to get really close to the fish — now I just need to add a macro lens to my repertoire. We also did a great 90+ minute dive on the Hilma Hooker and explored all its nooks and crannies.
