Diving

The Bonaire National Marine Park is arguably the best diving in the Caribbean.

Epic Diving - Bonaire Style

When it comes to Bonaire's diving, it's simply legendary–from epic wall dives to nearly endless shore dive sites. Bonaire's abundant sea life, lush coral gardens and formations, warm blue and turquoise waters place Bonaire squarely on most of the world's best diving lists. Water temperatures are always warm and visibility is stunning. Bonaire's protected marine park's biodiversity is some of the highest in the Caribbean and is home to rays, turtles, barracuda, sharks, squid, jellies, and a variety of eels, nudibranchs, corals, sharks, and so much more. And with Captain Don's "Diving Freedom" you can do as much shore diving as you want at the house reef or anywhere on the island!
