    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Kalli's Reef on Klein Bonaire is a great choice when you're looking for a slightly quieter spot away from the crowds that sometimes gather at the more famous sites. We often find the visibility here to be exceptionally good, sometimes pushing 30 meters, making for really peaceful drifts along the reef slope. Keep an eye out for the unusual suspects; we’ve seen more than a few flying gurnards here, along with the usual parrotfish and angelfish Bonaire is known for. It's a relaxed dive, perfect for photographers or anyone wanting to slow down and really observe the reef's smaller inhabitants.
