Bonaire
Bonaire Dive Travel:
Located 40 miles north of Venezuela, Bonaire's 112-square miles are
occupied by 11,000 people. Bonaire is a Dutch island and quite simply,
a dive Paradise loaded with coral reefs thriving along their
underwater volcanic slopes, nurturing colonies in brilliant colors
and beauty in water as clear and blue as sister island Curacao's famous
liqueur. Three decades ago Bonaire realized that conserving this natural
wonder was not just ecologically kind but also commercially shrewd;
since then, several marine parks have been established, mapped, and
protected.
Bonaire is the perfect place for shore diving and most shore dive
sites are marked by large yellow rocks with the name of the site stenciled
on them. Beginners divers will find ideal surroundings, shallow calm easy
to dive sites just 30 feet from shore; seasoned scuba divers will find
sloping walls, wrecks and reefs to fulfill their dive adventure expectations.
Underwater photography is popular in Bonaire with all the colors of the
Caribbean vibrant and on display on each dive. Most dive resorts
include darkrooms and labs.
Nights can be spent roaming the deep, tailing schools of parrotfish or
marveling at shipwrecks. Resorts like Buddy Dive
offer 24 hour diving with unlimited dive packages such as their famous
Buddy Dive and drive.
The Coastline is dotted with tiny coves of rugged lava formations
where the sea has carved cavernous grottos offering spectacular shore
diving opportunities. Bonaire's southern half hosts a handful of
salt flats, and a beautiful Pink Beach providing a green haven
for more than a hundred species of birds, from flamingos and hummingbirds
to lorikeets, herons, doves, beautiful Parroquets, big blue lizards
and three foot iguanas.
Lac Bay, on the windward side of the island,
has some of the best windsurfing in the world.
