The sea off Bonaire is remarkably calm and conditions are excellent for both diving and snorkeling. Average visibility is more than 30 meters and the average water temperature is 29°C. Nowhere in the world can you walk directly into the water at so many dive sites along the coast, and Bonaire’s reefs are in optimal condition. Bonaire is a diving paradise that is on the wish list of divers and snorkelers all over the world. The waters around Bonaire are rich in coral and a variety of marine animals. That Bonaire is still a fine diving and snorkeling location is due in part to the fact that the waters around Bonaire and Klein Bonaire are a protected nature reserve: the Bonaire National Marine Park.
