Blue Dives in Bonaire

[TinFins]

I am heading to Bonaire in two weeks, are there any recommended sites to perform a blue dive? After I have spent some time in the deep blue in Sipadan and Lake Tahoe, I have become fond of it. Please suggest some sites that would be worth it to surface swim out some distance before heading down where it is deep.

Also, is there any chance of seeing larger critters out there?

Thanks

what's a blue dive?

 

[TinFins]

A dive where you do not see the bottom or sides, just blue water.

How deep do you want to go? .

 

[TinFins]

Not much deeper than 120 feet.

I'm just wondering if there are chances to see larger pelagics out "there".

That's not really what Bonaire's all about. Maybe the east side??

I am aware that's not what it's all about, though after 10 days I may want to mix it up a bit. Thanks.

I know of no blue water dives. If you want to "mix it up" contact Bas Tol and plan some shore dives on the east side.

What they said^. Even the east side dives where you will see occasional pelagics aren't very deep - the conditions are just rougher. Bonaire East Coast Diving - Unforgettable Scuba Dive Vacation Adventure

You can get pretty deep in Bonaire, you can see from the shore where the wall goes deep. Last trip was my first foray to 150'.

I've never seen anything bigger than rays & tarpon, but there have been the occasional whale shark sightings.
