1000 Steps is probably just as famous for the grueling hike to and from the beach as it is for its world-class diving!  Don't be dismayed-- there are only 72 steps from your car to the beach.  If your dive buddy were a true buddy, he'd carry your tank for you!

On the stretch of road between Columbia and Karpata, 7 km North of Kralendijk.  Off the entrance to Radio Netherlands.

1000 Steps

Great dive - well worth the trek up and down stairs.  Went down and put wet suits on - coming back just made the trek geared up.  Beautiful plant and animal life. Several cleaner stations, turtle, schools of tangs. Very healthy reef.

#2 - 1000 Steps

Bari Reef is found off the shore of the Sand Dollar Condominiums.  After the tragic loss of their superb dive facility, docks, and restaurant during the Storm of '99, they put in a temporary facility on the Southern side of their property.  As of February 2001, the rebuilding is in progress.

2.5 km North of Kralendijk, just North the intersection of Kaya Gobernador Nicolaas and Kaya Amsterdam.

Bari Reef

This is our 3rd trip to Bonaire. Bari reef has been beat up by divers and needs a rest to restore it to its beauty of just a few years ago.  It has an abundance of sea life and has been a terrific dive site - but too many divers kicking the reef have taken its toll.
