Why dive here
With 192+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blue sharks, orcas, sea turtles and sperm whales - Windjammer wreck offers some of Klein Bonaire's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest September, October, November.
The Windjammer lies off Klein Bonaire, a deeper dive that usually requires a bit more planning. We typically drop to around 60 metres, so this isn't one for casual divers, but if you're comfortable with depth, it’s a rewarding experience. The wreck itself is a steel-hulled sailing ship, and while time and depth have taken their toll, her form is still distinct. Schools of horse-eye jacks often swirl around the mast, and we’ve spotted tarpon patrolling the deeper sections. It’s a quiet, reflective dive, perfect for those who appreciate the history beneath the waves.
