DIVE SITE

Ebo's Special

Beside Ebo's Reef, a little steeper · a good macro site

Ebo's Special lies beside Ebo's Reef and is a little steeper. The difference is in the details: seahorses, frogfish and nudibranchs are reported strikingly often on this slope. A dive to do slowly.

IN ONE LINE

Ebo's Special is an advanced boat dive on Klein Bonaire: a reef top at five to seven metres, a slope to thirty-five metres and plenty of macro life among the sponges.

TRANSLATED PAGEEbo's Special

What you see

A reef top at five to seven metres with sponges and finger coral, dropping to thirty-five metres. Among the sponges sit seahorses, frogfish and nudibranchs. Schools of grunts along the edge.

When to go

In calm sea and light current, so you can hang still to search. A torch helps the hunt, even by day.

WHAT DISAPPOINTS

Those after big life see little here. Hanging still by a slope calls for good trim; with poor trim you damage exactly what you are looking for. Boat only, no facilities.
