The Bonaire WebCams Family Grows with New Underwater ReefCams
Bonaire, N.A. - May 30, 2007 - Caribbean WebCams, LLC announced today that it has successfully installed a new Bonaire ReefCam on the island of Bonaire, joining the upgraded original Bonaire ReefCam which has been in Bonaire's waters entertaining millions of Internet viewers for nearly seven years.
The new Bonaire Pier ReefCam resides in a protected area under the pier at Bonaire's Eden Beach Resort in only about 1.6 meters/5 feet of water, while the original ReefCam has been remounted and upgraded and now shows views across the hull of the Bakanal, a sunken yacht located at approximately 19 meters/60 feet of depth. As such, the original ReefCam has been re-christened the Bonaire Wreck ReefCam.
Additionally, the three land-based Bonaire WebCams located at the Eden Beach Resort have also been upgraded and recabled to provide long term use and viewing pleasure, and join three other land-based WebCams on Bonaire: the DonkeyCam, the WindsurfCam, and the DowntownCam.
"With eight live WebCams on Bonaire running day in and day out, we figure Bonaire has the highest per capita public WebCam ratio of any island in the Caribbean, if not the world. And Bonaire also only has the only long-term permanent open ocean ReefCam installations anywhere. Tens of thousands of people view our WebCams from all over, and we regularly get e-mails and thanks from people who discovered the snorkeling and diving paradise of Bonaire via our WebCams and now vacation here regularly," said Jake Richter, a Bonaire resident and Chief Operating Officer and Chief Diver of Caribbean WebCams LLC, owner of the Bonaire WebCams web site and a majority of the WebCams on display.
The Bonaire WebCams can be viewed at any time (although at night, Bonaire-time, some will be dark) at http://www.BonaireWebCams.com, with images being captured every minute off each camera. The site also offers memberships to people who would like to peruse the archives of all image captures - archives which go back as far as December 2000. The searchable WebCams archives allow Bonaire visitors to the cameras to look up images of themselves on the WebCams, meaning that vacationers to the island of Bonaire, the Caribbean diving and snorkeling capital, who pose for the ReefCams underwater or for the topside WebCams, for example, can look up the images captured of them upon their return from vacation. Memberships are free for limited archive access, and as low as US$4.95 for a one week membership or US$24.95 for an annual membership.
The Bonaire WebCams are so popular among the growing list of Bonaire fans that daily discussions about what has appeared on the Bonaire WebCams are held on the popular BonaireTalk web site in a section dedicated to the Bonaire WebCams (at http://www.BonaireTalk.com/webcams).
