Bonaire is a small island that is situated in the southern Caribbean, located outside of the hurricane belt and has a total land area of 288 km Bonaire, in which Flamingo International Airport is positioned. Diving is especially popular here, some say that it is the best diving to be found in the Caribbean. With over 60 dedicated shore dives available here there is plenty for divers to explore as they wish. Marine life that visitors can expect to see includes over 300 species of tropical fish and over 120 different types of coral. Bonaire is a good choice for visitors wishing to learn to dive and for families as well as experienced divers. There are so many reefs available to dive here, each offering a different experience.

Bonaire makes up part of the ABC Islands of the Leeward Antilles, the southern island chain of the Lesser Antilles, alongside Aruba and Curacao, and out of these is in fact the least developed. The island is highly eco-friendly and its name Bonaire literally translates as 'good air'. It’s renowned for its pioneering role in preserving nature, in particular the preservation of the marine environment, and for its excellent scuba diving, snorkelling, and windsurfing. It is for this reason that in 1979 Bonaire set up a Marine Park that enforced a strict maintenance policy. As a result of this, today Bonaire's beautiful beaches and safe waters are still 100% intact.

The second-largest island in the Dutch Antilles, Bonaire, offers visitors a terrain of vast contrast. Its desert like terrain is bordered buy clear clean turquoise waters. On parts of the island, giant salt lakes loom on the horizon packed full of Flamingos that are said to outnumber Bonaire's human population. Beneath the water's surface, rainbow-hued fish drift in between coral. It is for these reasons that Bonaire is also referred to as best kept secret. Its unhurried, unspoiled and unforgettable charm makes it a diver's paradise.

Bonaire has the reputation of being laid back, tranquil and very relaxing. This is very true however at night Bonaire comes into another world, with numerous restaurants, clubs and bars for visitors to explore.

During the day, there are also many activities that visitors can take part in. The majority of these are water sports ranging from water skiing, surfing, sailing, snorkelling and diving. Bonaire is famous for its water sports. This is as a result of its perfect climate that’s warm, dry and breezy it is ideal for these sorts of activities.

Bonaire Diving Holidays - Diving Information

Bonaire pristine reefs and diverse marine life are unique to the Caribbean. The waters around Bonaire are designated as an official marine park and years of protection and good diving practice means that most sites feature pristine coral formations which are recognised world wide for their healthy state of preservation. The sea abounds with beautiful marine life and a mesmerizing variety of multi coloured tropical fish.

Bonaire diving is mainly shore based with most of the sites in the southern and western coasts. The type of diving in the south is different from the type of diving you will experience in the north of the island.

The south of Bonaire is flat and the underwater topography is reflected with long, shallow and gentle slopping shelves. In the shallow reefs you will have the opportunity to see large soft coral gorgonians and in the extreme southern sites pelagics are not uncommon.

The north of Bonaire is hilly and once again the underwater topography is reflected on the geography of this part of the island. Here you will find a very short terrace in about twenty feet of water and not far from the shoreline the drop-offs begin.

The fact the whole island is a protected marine park, divers must attend an orientation session and purchase a marine park fee before diving in Bonaire.

Bonaire Diving Season

Bonaire is a year round diving destination but divers will benefit from better visibility from spring to autumn. During the winter months visibility is very low.
The average air temperature during the year is around 28 degrees Celsius. The water temperature is between 26 and 29 degrees Celsius with visibility averaging over the 30 metres.
