Dive-site story
Situated along Bonaire's leeward coast, Andrea 1 features a gentle coral shelf that transitions into a healthy sloping reef. The shallows hold extensive gardens of soft corals, sea fans, and anemones before the bottom angles downward into sand channels. Divers frequently encounter foraging sea turtles near the reef crest, while macro life thrives among the abundant barrel sponges and coral heads.
