Dive-site story
Located off the coast of Klein Bonaire, Joanne's Sunchi features a wide sandy plateau that gives way to a sloping fringing reef. Hard coral formations dominate the drop-off, interspersed with sea rods, large yellow tube sponges, and sea plumes. Because it lies within the protected marine reserve of Klein Bonaire, the site is accessible by boat moorings.
Extensive sand patches hosting colonies of yellowhead jawfish
Dense hard coral ridges covered with tube sponges and sea whips
Gentle slope suitable for multi-level drift or stationary exploration

Seasonality
Year-round diving is reliable, though late summer through autumn brings the warmest water temperatures and lightest trade winds.
