Dive-site story
Located near the historic Landhuis Karpata on the northwest coast of Bonaire, this site features a steep reef profile marked by massive coral spurs, deep sand channels, and expansive fields of sheet coral cascading down the slope. Shore divers enter from a small concrete platform over shallow reef rubble before descending into clear open water where pelagics and cruising turtles frequently pass by.
Dramatic coral ridges and deep sand valleys creating distinct topography
Expansive formations of sheet and plate coral along the drop-off
Frequent green and hawksbill sea turtle encounters feeding along the shallows
