Why dive here
With 192+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blue sharks, orcas, sea turtles and sperm whales - Hands Off offers some of Klein Bonaire's richest diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest September, October, November.
Hands Off sits on Klein Bonaire's northern side, a gentle drift dive often paired with the nearby Carl's Hill. The reef starts shallow, sloping down to around 30 meters, with plenty of brain corals and gorgonians along the drop-off. We often spot green sea turtles here, grazing casually, along with the usual parrotfish and angelfish. It’s a relaxed dive, good for photographers or anyone wanting an easy, pleasant boat dive.
