Forest Dive Site (Klein Bonaire)

12° 9.2′ N · 68° 19.6′ W · approximate

One of Klein Bonaire's showpiece boat dives: gorgonian-covered shallows giving way to big colonies of fern-like black coral, with a large cave at about 23 m where green morays, a resident loggerhead or nurse sharks may be tucked in.

Practical

Depth 8-30 m (25-100 ft) (Tourism Corporation Bonaire). Boat-access only: tie the dinghy to the yellow STINAPA dive mooring (2-hour limit), never anchor. Nature tag and gear disinfection required. Some Klein Bonaire sites were temporarily closed for SCTLD and have reopened - check status with STINAPA. Coordinate approx: estimated on Klein Bonaire's southwest shore, where the site is generally shown on dive maps; locate the named mooring buoy on site.
