No Name (A) - Klein Bonaire
Récif Tabu in Prony Bay is exactly where we'd send someone looking for a relaxed dive with a bit of history. It’s got a calm, sheltered feel, perfect for easing into things, especially if the chop is up elsewhere. The reef itself is a gentle sandy slope, but the real draw is the *Toho 5* wreck down at 15 metres. This isn't some vast, intact freighter, but a smaller fishing vessel, broken up enough to be interesting without being intimidating. What we love about the *Toho 5* is how completely it’s been absorbed by the reef. The metal structure is draped in stony corals, and every nook seems to house something. We always spot big schools of fusiliers shimmering above the deck, and inside the remaining hull sections, you'll often find a shy spotted grouper peeking out. Keep an eye on the sand around the wreck too; we've had some lovely encounters with whitetip sharks cruising past, and the garden eels here are particularly charming. It’s a great site for photographers who appreciate the blend of history and marine life, offering plenty of detail without requiring deep dives or strong currents.
