    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Keepsake feels like a classic Klein Bonaire dive, but with its own quiet charm. We often find ourselves drifting along the shallow wall here, where the reef drops gently to about 12 metres, then eases into a sandy slope dotted with coral heads. It’s a great spot for those days when you want a relaxed drift, soaking in the details without fighting a current. We've seen hawksbill turtles munching on sponges near the top of the wall, and the apricot bass are always a treat, shyly darting among the brain corals. Keep an eye out for the smaller stuff too, like the cherub pygmy angelfish flitting between the corals – they're easy to miss if you're only looking out into the blue. The sand patches are worth a scan for stingrays and garden eels. It's a consistently pleasant dive, perfect for photographers wanting to take their time or just anyone looking for a peaceful underwater escape.

    Safety Notes

    Overhead environment - never enter without proper cave/cavern training, redundant equipment, and a guideline.
