About this dive site
Shore diving freedom on Caribbean slopes you pick yourself.
Bonaire’s west coast offers marked shore entries, easy navigation and healthy reef slopes thick with sponges, angelfish and trunkfish. Many sites are calm enough for long, unhurried profiles with a buddy and a pickup truck. Look under ledges and in crevices, the island rewards repeat dives at familiar markers.
Shore sites reward repeat dives at the same entry marker; check swell, surf and exit points before you kit up. Calendar peak is January - December, but skippers still move sites when wind, swell or current change. Book with a crew that knows Bonaire day to day, not just the map pin.
