Dive-site story
Tolo, widely known as Ol' Blue, sits along the northern scenic coastal road of Bonaire. The site features a sandy beach strewn with coral rubble leading down to a wide sand channel before the reef drops down a steep coral-encrusted slope. Divers navigating the drop-off encounter large boulder star coral formations and sea rods anchored along the incline.
Steep reef slope decorated with healthy mountain star coral and giant gorgonians
Frequent encounters with foraging sea turtles resting on sand patches between coral heads
Calm shallows suitable for extended safety stops over soft coral gardens
