Why dive here
With 192+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blue sharks, orcas, sea turtles and sperm whales - Bruce's Rappel offers some of Klein Bonaire's richest diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest September, October, November.
Bruce’s Rappel on Klein Bonaire offers a bit of an unusual entry, a cliff rappel that adds a touch of adventure before you even hit the water. Once in, you're on a classic Bonaire wall dive, dropping down to explore the typical hard coral structures and sponges. We’ve found decent numbers of schooling reef fish here, parrotfish grazing, and sometimes a turtle gliding past in the blue. It’s a good spot for those who appreciate a unique entry and a solid, uncrowded wall dive, especially if you’re looking to get away from the main island’s busier sites.
