Dive Sites

Cuz Em decided to go for her Advanced Open Water certification while we were in Bonaire. Bonaire is such a great dive destination I can't blame her. There are great beach entry spots all up and down the coast.
The photo here shows "1,000 Steps", a great location off a nice beach at the base of a cliff. To get there from the road you have to climb down about 70 steps (with your gear). The site is named after what it feels like when you have to climb back up the steps after your dive with all of your gear.
The entrances to most of the Bonaire dive sites are often a bit rocky but quickly taper off into a 15 foot sand bottom running a hundred feet or so to a wonderful coral wall that drops down to 100 to 130 feet. We had a great day in the water followed by some spicy lasagna at the local Pizza place.
