Ebo's Reef

Klein Bonaire, north side · gentle slope, a calm second dive

Ebo's Reef is the quiet north side of Klein Bonaire: a gentle slope, little current and a reef that holds no surprises. That is exactly why it makes a good second dive of the day, after a deeper morning dive.

IN ONE LINE

Ebo's Reef is a beginner boat dive on the north side of Klein Bonaire: a reef top at four to six metres, a gentle slope to thirty metres and little current.

TRANSLATED PAGEEbo's Reef

What you see

A reef top at four to six metres with finger coral, sponges and sea anemones, sloping gently to thirty metres. Grunts and parrotfish school over the top, with shrimp and brittle stars in the crevices. Turtles pass through regularly.

When to go

As a second dive, when the boat crosses again after the morning. In light wind the visibility over the top is excellent.

WHAT DISAPPOINTS

Little relief and little drama: this is a calm dive, not a wall. Reachable only by boat. No facilities on the island. When busy, several boats sit on the same stretch.

Rules on site

NATURE TAGRequired; the site lies within the Bonaire National Marine Park.
TOUCHINGTouch nothing, take nothing, do not anchor.
EQUIPMENTGloves only with an exemption from STINAPA.

Decisions on diveability, technique and health belong with STINAPA, a dive school or a doctor. This page only describes the conditions.

Context

The north side of Klein Bonaire lies in the lee of the trade wind and so has gentle slopes rather than steep walls. The island has been fully protected and undeveloped since 1999.

Questions about this site

Why is this a good second dive?
Shallow, calm and without current. After a deeper morning dive you easily keep margin on your no-decompression time.
Can you snorkel here?
Yes. The reef top starts shallow and the water on this side is almost always flat.
