Why dive here
With 192+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blue sharks, orcas, sea turtles and sperm whales - The Double Reef offers some of Klein Bonaire's richest reef diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest September, October, November.
The Double Reef in Klein Bonaire offers exactly what its name suggests: two distinct reef lines separated by a stretch of sand. We often drop in at the outer reef, letting the gentle current guide us along the wall, keeping an eye out for green morays tucked into crevices. Crossing the sandy channel to the inner reef feels like moving into a different world, often shallower and with more sunlight filtering through. It’s a great spot for an easy drift, letting you take in the subtle differences between the two environments, from the larger coral formations on the outer reef to the smaller fish hovering over the inner one.
