Diving & Snorkeling
80+ shore-accessible dive sites along a protected marine park. Klein Bonaire is unmissable.
Bonaire packs more variety than its size suggests. Here's everything worth doing on the island.
Most visitors come to Bonaire for the diving — and rightly so. The island is consistently ranked among the world's top dive destinations, with over 80 shore-accessible dive sites along a protected marine park. But Bonaire is more than underwater. Above the surface, you'll find flamingo lakes, national parks, kite beaches, local restaurants, and a pace of life that makes it genuinely hard to leave.
The Visit Bonaire app covers all of it. Not just the dive sites, but the hidden beaches, the best local lunches, the self-drive routes through Washington Slagbaai National Park, and the spots that don't make it into the guidebooks. Everything works fully offline, so your Bonaire adventure never depends on a signal.

Bonaire's marine park has been protected since 1979 — one of the first in the world — and the results are visible the moment you enter the water. Coral health here is exceptional by Caribbean standards, and visibility regularly exceeds 30 metres. Unlike most dive destinations, the vast majority of Bonaire's best sites are accessible directly from shore. No boat booking, no waiting, no schedule. You drive up, gear up, and walk in.
The marine life reflects decades of protection: hawksbill turtles, eagle rays, frogfish, seahorses, and dense schools of Atlantic fish species are routine sightings. Klein Bonaire — a small uninhabited island just offshore — has its own marine reserve with some of the best wall diving in the Caribbean. Year-round water temperatures of 26–29°C mean no thick wetsuit is needed.
