October 13, 2021 Emerita Lamoureux

Are there more flamingos than people on Bonaire? It's possible, and it's part of this unspoiled island's appeal. Bring your binoculars and your scuba gear to make the most of Bonaire's natural charms: more than 200 different species of birds live here, and the island itself draws divers from around the world to its reef-lined coast, a National Maritime Park.

Salt Pier

Dive site that requires a local divemaster with Harbor Master's permission.

When there is no boat, go there for a great dive or snorkel experience. It is like stepping into an aquarium. In the shallows you will be able to see turttle's feeding on the see grass totally ignoring you while grassing. You will be able to see big tarpons, small schools of reef squid, green murray, barracuda and lot's of more nice fish. Easy to navigate

Second year in a row visiting the site. Shore entry is pretty easy. Bari Reef is well known for having a great diversity of marine species. We used it as a drift dive down to Eden Beach.

We went here 3 times in the week because we loved it so much. The dive entry was easy and the double reef was very interesting. It's not too deep so you can stay under as long as your air will last. The reef closest to shore tops out at around 15 ft with several coral outcroppings even shallower so it would be a decent snorkel spot too.
