Dive shops transformer for charging blew out the first day. The Island is on 127v 50c AC so some chargers (those not marked for 50/60c) only provide partial charge (60- 70%). |

This was our second trip to Buddy Dive the first having been in '99 before the Island was hit by the surge for Lenny. There is still a noticable change in the 0' to 30' zone, not enough to avoid Bonaire, there is life returning to this area. It would have been nice to have had the proper transformer for one charger. |
