Dive-site story
Situated along the leeward coast just in front of Hamlet Oasis, Cliff offers one of the few small vertical drop-offs on Bonaire. The site is famous for housing the memorial marker dedicated to dive pioneer Captain Don Stewart. Divers navigate across a shallow coral terrace before reaching a mini-wall that plunges toward a sloping sand bottom, providing productive macro hunting grounds and reliable night diving.
