Bonaire

Beautiful Bonaire, in the southern Caribbean Sea, provides an ecological paradise for nature lovers above and below the water! The entire coastline is protected as the “Bonaire Marine Park” (up to depths of 200 feet), encompassing reef systems that provide excellent snorkeling and shore diving locations.

Aside from Diving, salt production is Bonaire’s biggest industry and is quickly observed in the South. The stunning salt beds of Pekelmeer are also home to one of the hemisphere's great populations of flamingoes. In addition, neighboring excellent shore diving and snorkeling sites, are historical landmarks to Bonaire’s repressive past: African slave huts. These huts still stand in the area around Rincon and along the saltpans of South Bonaire.

The Salt Pier is one of the most spectacular dives.  The pilings harbor some interesting growth that you won't find easily elsewhere.  Since you will need permission from the Cargill Salt Company, make plans early with your local dive shop to schedule this dive.

5.9 km South of the Airport.  If you miss this one, you're sleeping!
