Bonaire Diving
Bonaire, also known as the shore diving capital of the world, is a Dutch Caribbean island closed to Aruba & Curacao. Because Bonaire has protected its marine resources for over 35 years, it is commonly ranked as one the top dive destinations in the Caribbean. Colorful coral, warm water, and 470 species of fish make a compelling reason to dive in Bonaire. Unlike most world-wide dive destinations, there are numerous shore dive sites (over 60!), though boat dives are also widely available. Underwater photography is a favorite activity due to Bonaire’s incredibly clear water and unspoiled ecosystem. Watch out – diving in Bonaire will get you addicted to the sport in a hurry.
