The Diving

 

On average Bonaire's visibility exceeds 100ft and the water temperature does not fluctuate much on either side of 80F. The fringing reef begins close to the shore, usually a short 30ft swim or less making Bonaire world renowned for its ease of shore diving. Bonaire's waters have something special for every diver.

All divers can enjoy the freedom of unlimited shore diving, making as many divers as they'd like per day.
