Not a shore dive, access by boat only. Mooring line at dive site. One of Bonaire’s most popular dives. In the past, divers had to use ropes to rappel to this site! There are large fans and colorful gorgonians of all shapes and sizes in the shallows. Nice wall drop off at 50 feet. Lack of sand beach makes for clear vis. The beautiful coral formations appear to have been planted and cared for by a conscientious, hardworking gardener. Due to the close proximity of the mooring line to the ledge on shore, boats have a tendency to rock. Depth 30-100 feet (18-30 meters)
