Dive-site story
Walhalla (often spelled Whalhalla) sits along the southern shore of Bonaire, marked by the island's signature painted yellow stone. The entry leads across an ironshore and coral rubble shelf into a wide sandy plateau before the terrain drops onto an open reef slope. Gorgonian sea fans and large tube sponges dominate the drop-off, providing habitat for cruising pelagics and macro critters alike.
Broad reef slope overgrown with large barrel sponges and soft gorgonian forests
Frequent encounters with foraging southern stingrays across the sandy flats
Less diver traffic compared to the northern and central mooring sites
