Dive-site story
Located along the leeward coast just north of Kralendijk, Bari Reef is famous for harboring one of the highest fish biodiversity counts in the entire Caribbean. Easy access from the pier or beach leads over a shallow sandy rubbly terrace down to a gently sloping coral reef. Divers frequently spot camouflaged macro critters like frogfish and seahorses resting among tube sponges and gorgonians before drifting along the main reef slope.
Record-setting Caribbean reef fish biodiversity documented by REEF surveys
Prime macro habitat for longsnout seahorses and camouflaged frogfish
Effortless shore entry with calm leeward conditions
Night diving with active hunting tarpon, morays, and hunting octopuses
Location
