Discovering the Undersea World of Bonaire

[Thomas]

Bonaire is a little island colonized by the Dutch in the southern Caribbean's Lesser Antilles, an insignificant 25 miles (80km) north of the Venezuelan coast. Safe from typhoons, Bonaire has a genuinely stunning atmosphere, generally warm and dry for the majority of the year. Popular for its pink flamingos and spectacular coral reefs, the island is a fantasy worked out for swashbucklers searching for swimming, scuba jumping and water sports.

My first experience swimming simply seaward from Klein Bonaire totally took my breath away! I have swam bounty in the Caribbean, yet I'd never experienced anything like this. After a short vessel ride over toward the south side of the Klein Bonaire, I ventured off the pontoon and put my face in the quiet warm water and actually hollered through my snorkel, "Sacred s**t!" We were over a reef so loaded with life I didn't have a clue where to look first.

When I settled down, I investigated an assortment of coral alongside brilliant cylinders and crest, just as stunning fish species that I'd never observed. The sand and coral base just vanished over a submerged precipice, and as I was peering into the pit, a green turtle swam out of the profound towards us. At the second spot we swam at, close to the east finish of the island, the current was significantly more grounded. We just floated with a huge school of fish – fortifying!
