    Cliff on Klein Bonaire is one of those sites we always try to hit, especially if we’re doing a two-tank trip out there. It’s got a bit of everything without being overwhelming. You drift gently along a sloping reef that then just… drops away. That wall makes for some dramatic scenery, and we love the way the light plays on the Mustard Hill Corals clinging to the edge. Keep an eye out for the smaller stuff here too. We’ve spent ages just watching the Puffcheek Blennies darting in and out of crevices, and the Golden Fern Hydroids are surprisingly mesmerising as they sway in the surge. Look a bit closer, and you’ll often spot a tiny Glass Goby perched precariously. Our pick for finding the bigger guys, like the Tiger Groupers, is usually closer to the deeper sections of the wall, so don't be afraid to poke around the 20-meter mark. It’s a pretty easy drift, making it a great second dive or a good spot for newer divers to experience a wall without challenging currents.
