Bonaire
TRAVEL GUIDE

Loading...

Bonaire is widely regarded as one of the best destinations in the Caribbean for shore diving—and with good reason. The dry climate and coral composition of the island mean that there's little soil runoff, allowing near-perfect visibility in the coastal waters. The islanders have exploited this advantage, and you can find local businesses that cater to virtually every diving need.
