Sitting just across the street from the airport, Windsock is an excellent easy entry shore dive great for all levels of divers. A shallow, sandy plateau is followed by a healthy reef structure full of marine life.

Another great shore dive in Bonaire, especially nice for photographers due to the sheer diversity of marine life found here. You’ll be greeted underwater first by a sandy plateau and the reef starts just a bit further out.

This is the house reef of the hotel/apartment of the same name. It is a wide sandy area before the wall really starts. If you are not a guest, only accessible by boat.

Unlike a lot of the shore dive locations on the island on Bonaire which have hard limestone entry points, 18 Palm is an easy sandy beach access point and two freshwater showers to rinse your gear at the end of your dive.

Sara’s Smile is the house reef of Belmar Private Oceanfront Apartments, so if you dive from the shore you need permission. A nice reef and after the dive you will certainly emerge with a “smile“.

This spot is located next to the similar restaurant. The reef slopes gently before the wall really starts. Drop off your gear at the water, park your car and start the dive!

Calabas Reef is the house reef for the popular Divi Flamingo Beach Resort and sits right out in front of it. A healthy reef system with lots of turtles, groupers and even a seahorse or two.

This spot starts with a shallow reef, nice for beginning divers or snorkeling. For the more experienced divers, at about 37 meters the 2nd reef starts.

This is the house reef of the resort of the same name here on Bonaire. It is a beautiful sandy plateau before the wall starts at 15m. Very nice facilities for divers.

The reef here is between 15 and 30 meters. Shallower and deeper you will find mainly sand. This spot is a bit difficult to access from the shore but good by boat.
