Dive-site story
Located just off the entrance to the marina near Kralendijk, Something Special is a celebrated shore dive on Bonaire. The site transitions from an easy pebble-and-sand entry into a shallow sandy plateau sprinkled with coral heads and rubble, before sloping down into a healthy reef wall. Macro photographers frequently explore the rubble zone for cryptic critters, while the outer slope attracts cruising pelagics and schooling reef fish.
Prolific rubble zones ideal for hunting frogfish, seahorses, and camouflaged scorpionfish
Colonies of garden eels and yellowhead jawfish popping out of the sandy flats
Convenient shore access with a dedicated yellow stone marker and sheltered harbor waters
