Dive-site story
Located along the southern coast of Bonaire, this industrial conveyor pier provides shelter for massive schools of fish among heavy concrete pillars. Divers navigate beneath the towering structure where sunlight filters through overhead platforms onto dense soft coral growth and sponge-encrusted pylons. Beyond the pilings, a gentle slope transitions into open sandy patches and an outer reef line.
Heavy colonization of sponges and cup corals encrusting the structural pilings
Schools of schooling grunts, snappers, and lurking silver tarpon under the shade of the platforms
Frequent encounters with foraging juvenile green sea turtles around nearby patch reefs
Macro opportunities including frogfish and seahorses clinging to sponges

Seasonality
Accessible year-round, though diving is strictly prohibited when a salt carrier ship is berthed at the pier.
