    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    The MAK H-1 wreck, just off Klein Bonaire, gives us a different kind of dive. It’s a 60-meter motor vessel, grounded back in '91 after engine trouble, and she still sits quite high. You won't find a deep dive here, as most of the action is in the shallows, making it perfect for a long, relaxed exploration. We love poking around the exposed hull; it’s a canvas for encrusting sponges and corals, with small damselfish darting between the crevices. It’s a good spot for newer divers, or anyone who enjoys a leisurely wreck dive without the need for deep technical skills.

    Safety Notes

    Wreck site - avoid penetration without wreck diving certification. Watch for sharp metal and entanglement hazards.
