Why dive here
With 192+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blue sharks, orcas, sea turtles and sperm whales - Red Slave offers some of Klein Bonaire's richest diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest September, October, November.
Red Slave on Klein Bonaire offers a relaxed drift, usually south to north, over a fairly consistent reef slope. It’s a good spot to just settle in and let the current do the work. We’ve had nice encounters with hawksbill and green turtles here, often just cruising along the wall with you. Keep an eye out for the smaller stuff too, lots of blennies and gobies tucked into the corals, and we’ve even spotted banded basslets deeper down. It’s a solid choice for a second dive or if you just want an easy, pleasant float.
