Dive site in the spotlight

Bonaire is a divers paradise. Lots of divers from all over the world come to Bonaire to admire the underwater world. The 55 types of coral, the 370 species of fish, and the multiple dive sites ensure ideal circumstances.

On Bonaire there are no less than 86 official dive sites. Of which 54 are shore dive sites. At these shore dive sites you can park your car on the side of the road, put on your gear, and just walk into the water to start your dive. That's what we call 'Diving Freedom'. The dive sites on Bonaire are marked by yellow stones. You can find them on the side of the road.
On this part of the website, we focus on a different dive site every month. This month the dive site in the spotlight is Andrea 1 on Bonaire!
