Calabas Reef

This spot is located next to the similar restaurant. The reef slopes gently before the wall really starts. Drop off your gear at the water, park your car and start the dive!

Unlike a lot of the shore dive locations on the island on Bonaire which have hard limestone entry points, 18 Palm is an easy sandy beach access point and two freshwater showers to rinse your gear at the end of your dive.

Sitting just across the street from the airport, Windsock is an excellent easy entry shore dive great for all levels of divers. A shallow, sandy plateau is followed by a healthy reef structure full of marine life.

The dive site is named after Corporal Robert W. Meiss. It is a typical dive site like Bonaire has many. It is also a popular beach! So combine your dive with sun, sea, beach, snorkeling and a good BBQ.

Enter next to the pier at Yellow Submarine and head straight out to the reef. Top of reef is around 6 meters, bottom is around 30 meters. Watch out for boat traffic.

This dive site lives up to its name: Something Special because it is just that. An incredible amount of biodiversity calls this reef home; it’s filled with an incredible mixture of hard and soft corals. The sandy areas have discarded rubble that acts as a fantastic artificial reef.

Keepsake is a nice dive site on Klein Bonaire that is suitable for every diver. It has a sandy bottom with hills and gullies. There is a beautiful drop-off of 12 meters.

From the resort of the same name you can dive into the water from the beach or from the boat. Beautiful reef puts different lives. Be careful not to dive into the harbor entrance!

Front Porche is a shore accessible dive site not well known for its outstanding reef, but for its scraps. The site is littered with steel pipes, wreck parts, and old machinery. This interesting mix of artificial reef attracts a wide array of marine life.

Another great shore dive in Bonaire, especially nice for photographers due to the sheer diversity of marine life found here. You’ll be greeted underwater first by a sandy plateau and the reef starts just a bit further out.
