Diving on Bonaire: this is what you need to know

The calm and clear waters make Bonaire an ideal destination for a diving holiday. On the island, you will find more than 85 official diving and snorkeling sites. Most of them are easily accessible directly from the shore, which makes enjoying the beauty underwater very approachable. Because the west coast is fairly sheltered, there is little current and in some places the visibility is more than 90 meters. The Washington Slagbaai National Park and the Bonaire National Marine Park are paradise-like locations for divers and snorkelers. They even protect the colorful coral reef, sea turtles, tropical fish, and other marine life.
