1. Hi, a group of high school earth science teachers are coming to scuba in mid-march.  I would like to learn about the geology and tectonics of the area before that.  the presentation by Dave Suek sounded perfect.  Did he have a handout or powerpoint show or resource that I could get a copy of somehow?  I’ve been enjoying learning about Bonaire from internet sites.  Masha’ dank!  Susan Brink
