My goodness, do you dive in Goodwill stores? So much stuff!

How Bonaire Is Fighting To Keep Its Number One Tourist Attraction

Great photos

Interesting. Thanks for all the detail. Total cost (excluding plane ticket)?

Burrr!

Leaving today. I recommend Karpata and Oil Slick Leap. The Salt Pier was ok. I would not waste time on Alice in Wonderland—super dead and very little fish. On Klein Bonaire the sites all pretty much look the same with dead coral but pretty fishy.

Yes. I noticed, on this trip, that those who dive lakes think this place is great— it is when all you see, typically, in a lake is a muck bottom and bluegills. Still lots of life here. No Frogfish, 1 Sea horse, no Indigo Hamlets, lots of yellowtail Hamlets and Red Lipped Blennies. Saw a...

Yes. Thanks. Enjoyed our time (100 ft viz) once we got over the shock. Our standards dropped dramatically.

Yup. I see it weekly

All red or orange but for two at the far southern end…lighthouse and white hole.

Alice in Wonderland is, unfortunately, no longer a wonderland. Taken on March 28-2024. Zoom in to see the damage.

Thank you. Please tell us which reefs still look good so we can go there while we are still here. Yes, I am comparing the reefs to my last visit (5 years ago).

Photos from Karpata and 1000 steps. I am not driven to destroy Bonaire’s reefs’ reputation. I am saddened by what I see and I am just sharing what I see. Again, if I had received accurate information, I would not have taken a dive trip to Bonaire given the state of the reefs. Of course...

Sad. I think the causes are many but for sure the stony coral tissue loss disease has sped the die off.

All of the sites are orange or red but for the two I mentioned. Wonder why you are so Invested in stating that the reefs are not dead. Photos to follow.

On the map, the Southern sites are also marked red and orange. The only two green sites, Wilemstoren Lighthouse and White Hole are way South and can only be attempted if the conditions are perfect because of big waves and strong currents. Sweet Dreams is marked orange—not going to drive there...

Hi. I did not take a single photo because it was so depressing. I will take some today and post. I will say, the Salt Pier had life (and I left my camera in the house because of the two earlier dives), despite the wasteland. Two green turtles, big spotted drums, golden eel, scorpion fish...
