Dive-site story
Located along the southwestern coast of Bonaire, Alice in Wonderland features a classic double-reef formation. Divers swim over an initial coral ridge, cross a wide sandy valley where garden eels and rays often shelter, and reach a second, deeper reef wall. Navigation can feel surreal and disorienting when crossing the sand channel between the two coral ridges, giving the site its whimsical name.
Distinctive double-reef topography separated by a wide sand channel
Expansive sand flats populated by colonies of garden eels and foraging rays
Sprawling stony coral formations along the outer drop-off
