Taylor Made on Klein Bonaire isn’t the flashiest site, but we love it for its quiet charm and surprising details. It’s got that gentle Bonaire drift, making for an easy dive where you can truly relax and soak it all in. We often start shallow, maybe around 8-10 metres, just drifting along the slope, keeping an eye out for the smaller stuff. You’ll see those huge formations of Lettuce Coral and Massive Starlet Coral here, they’re just immense and provide shelter for so much. We consistently spot cherub pygmy angelfish flitting in and out, and the puffcheek blennies are always a highlight, perched on the coral, watching you with those comical expressions. Look closely and you might even catch a glimpse of the rare Gutong or a Flamefish tucked away. It’s a site that rewards a slow pace. We’ve found the currents here are usually mild, ideal for photographers or anyone who just wants to take their time identifying species like the White Bearded Ark or the less common Dosinia-like Lucine. This isn't a site for pelagics, but rather for those who appreciate the intricate beauty of a healthy, vibrant reef ecosystem. It’s a beautiful drift, pure and simple, and one we go back to again and again.
