I have dives some beautiful stellar sites in many Caribbean Islands to Scuba. Martin, Dominica, St. Lucia and Kuracao, to do some names. But out of all my experiences, a destination has reached the top of my book: The Dutch Caribbean Island Bonaire,
24 miles long and seven miles wide, Bonaire is short. But it is a home of a large fringing reef (a type of rock that grows directly on the coastline of an island) that supports a healthy, rich marine ecosystem and 87 dive sites. Bonaire National Marine ParkEstablished in 1979, protects the surrounding water and is one of the oldest sea reserves in the world. It is a destination destination for many scuba divers.
The boneer’s westerley, levard side, cool air and water conditions provide more favorable diving conditions. The main island has a string of more than 60 consecutive dive sites from the west coast, as well as two dozen more sites around the small, uninhabited islet of Klein Bonaire. He said, most of the divers are accessible from the edge. In fact, dive shops often use trucks – not boats – to get them. Many sites are simply marked by yellow rocks located away from the coastline.

One of the most famous sites on the boneer is the salt ghat, which is actively used by the island’s sea salt industry. Large -scale ghat columns have formed artificial vertical rocks, and here diving feels almost like entering a science fiction world, in which the structures and coral growths of the foreigners such as foreign structures and coral growth bloom. I saw many types of critics under the ghat: Trumpatfish, triggerfish, drums, grunts, stoic and solitary torpone with large-scale schools, interaction with schools, free-free green deserts, sea turtles, and more.
For night divers, the head for something special, is known for its sandy floor and abundance of fish, thanks to its proximity to nearby Marina; It is accessible by car. Another popular site, Bon Biny Na Kas (meaning “Papiamentu” in Papiamentu “welcome home”), Creole Vrasse and Blue Tangs is the house of colored fish, which floats between Stashorn Coral Colonies and Lavender Stovpipe Space.

No matter what kind of dive experience you are expecting, Bonaire has options in spades. It is worth many trips – even when you cross it from your Caribbean Island Scuba Bucket List.
