PARADISE FOR DIVERS
You can admire the fantastic underwater world 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a week. The island is not called Divers's Paradise for nothing. Suitable for all levels, from beginner to advanced diver, allows every diver to discover this surreal underwater world.
Bonaire National Marine Park was founded by Captain Don Stewart, Carel Steensma and the Netherlands Antilles National Parks Foundation in 1979. The conservation of the sea is very important to the island. Starting with the protection of turtles in 1961, the ban on spearfishing in 1971 and the protection of coral in 1975. The Marine Park encompasses all waters around Bonaire and Klein Bonaire. This means that the entire coastline is a protected area, making the underwater world of Bonaire a popular home port for various fish such as the beautifully colored parrotfish, the well-camouflaged frogfish and the impressive tarpon.
You don't necessarily have to dive to enjoy the wonderful marine life. Even while snorkeling you will discover the beautiful coral reefs and its inhabitants. At a few meters depth you will meet rays, turtles or even a seahorse.
