    Boka Bartol (1) on Klein Bonaire is a straightforward drift dive, ideal for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed outing. The reef slopes gently to about 20 meters, with a fair scattering of brain corals and some plate corals in the shallows. Keep an eye out for schooling blue tangs and parrotfish grazing on the reef. It’s a decent spot for an easy second dive.
