Why dive here
With 192+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blue sharks, orcas, sea turtles and sperm whales - Red Beryl offers some of Klein Bonaire's richest diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest September, October, November.
Red Beryl, off Klein Bonaire, is a site we enjoy for its quiet simplicity. It’s not flashy, but if you take your time, there’s plenty to appreciate. We often spot hawksbill turtles grazing on the turtlegrass and shoalgrass beds, alongside those tiny, elusive Red Clingfish that are always a treat to find. Keep an eye out for the distinctive Puffcheek Blenny popping out of small holes, and we’ve even come across Greater Soapfish here, a less common sighting than their spotted cousins. It’s a good spot for a relaxed drift dive, especially if you’re keen on macro life and want a break from the busier sites.
