Joanne’s Sunchi (J)

Joanne’s Sunchi on Klein Bonaire is a site we’ve always enjoyed, especially for its unique wall and sand chute combo. We drop in on a sloping reef that quickly gives way to a wall, and then those lovely sand ridges start, extending down beyond our recreational limits. It’s a fun topography to explore. Our favourite part here is drifting along, watching for the subtle creatures that call the wall home. We’ve had great luck spotting those tiny banded basslets tucked into crevices, and the red clingfish often camouflage themselves perfectly on the corals. Keep an eye out for Caribbean reef squid in the shallower sections, too; they’re always a treat to watch change colours. If you’re into macro and enjoy a slow, contemplative drift, Joanne’s Sunchi is a solid pick. It’s a mellow dive, usually with mild currents, making it suitable for divers who prefer to take their time and really soak in the details.
