Dive-site story
The Lake marks the northern beginning of Bonaire's double reef system. Divers enter across a rubble-strewn shoreline to explore an inner sloping reef, which drops down to a wide sand channel separating it from a vibrant secondary outer reef. Crossing this sandy trough often yields encounters with rays resting on the bottom or cruising parallel to the reef crests.
Classic double reef topography with a broad sand channel separating the inner and outer crests
Frequent sightings of southern stingrays foraging in the sandy expanse
Vigorous soft coral formations and sea fans along the outer reef slope
