Monte’s Divi Tree (H)

Monte’s Divi Tree feels a little like Bonaire on quiet mode, and we love that. It’s one of those spots on Klein Bonaire where you’re guaranteed a relaxed dive, a perfect mid-morning drift after a busier previous day. The reef slopes gently, but enough to offer good variation in light and habitat, topping out at a modest 19m. You’ll spend most of your time between 10-15m, gliding over some really nice lettuce coral formations, keeping an eye out for bluestriped grunts schooling in the crevices. This is a great spot for macro enthusiasts, too. We’ve had a lot of luck finding dusky blennies bobbing on the coral heads and, if you take your time, keep a sharp lookout for seahorses, though they are notoriously good at blending in. Visibility here averages around 24m, so you get clear views of butterflyfish and coney darting about. It’s a site that suits divers who appreciate a slower pace, those who want to really absorb the details rather than rush from one big thing to the next.
