Bonaire is widely regarded as the Caribbean's premier shore-diving destination, with a protected marine park that runs right along the coastline. A continuous fringing reef and calm conditions make it ideal for independently planned shore dives and for beginners. The island is also a relatively dry, wind-swept spot known for healthy corals and consistent visibility.
