Diving
Bonaire is known to be one of the best when it
comes to diving. Bonaire ranks third on world list of most
beautiful dive areas. Diving is so popular because you can
dive from the shore almost everywhere on the southwest side
of the island. There are over 80 diving spots along the
coast, and at Klein Bonaire. You’ll recognize them at the
yellow painted stones at the side of the roads. Every place
has its own name; for example Oil Slick Leap and Witches
Hut are two of them. Bonaire's calm west coast waters make
entering the water for your dive safe and easy. During a
dive it is possible you’ll meet a dolphin or a sea turtle!

Cave exploration
There are over 200 caves on Bonaire. Exploring caves here on Bonaire is a very adventurous experience. The caves are pristine ancient wonders, with beautiful stalagmites and stalactites and some with lakes and tunnels. The cave systems are not accommodated with railings, paved paths or lights. It is a bit of a challenge to explore them: the only light is the one you carry, bats are flying around, and you will have to climb a little. Bring sturdy shoes, no flip flops. Its fun!
