Atlantis

Atlantis, on Klein Bonaire, is one of those sites where we almost always spot something unusual. You follow the channel, a sandy path between sprawling coral heads, and it quickly drops to 22 metres. We love the drift here; it’s usually a gentle push that lets you really soak in the smaller things. Look closely for Spinythroat Scorpionfish tucked into crevices and the tiny Puffcheek Blennies darting among the corals. On a good day, the light plays beautifully through the water, illuminating the crinoids that fan out from the reef. It’s an ideal spot for macro enthusiasts, but the eagle rays and tarpon cruising by keep wide-angle shooters happy too. Just remember, this area is popular with kite surfers. Always, always send up an SMB well before you ascend. It’s a small price to pay for such a rewarding dive.
