Just A Nice Dive

The name is the review · a pleasant, calm slope

Just A Nice Dive has the most honest name on the island: there is no wall, no wreck and no special feature, only a pleasant slope with lightly flowing water. As a second dive of the day that is exactly enough.

IN ONE LINE

Just A Nice Dive is a beginner boat dive on Klein Bonaire: a reef top at four to six metres and a calm slope to thirty metres, without special features.

TRANSLATED PAGEJust A Nice Dive

What you see

A reef top at four to six metres with finger coral and sponges, sloping gently to thirty metres. Schools of grunts and parrotfish on the top, shrimp in the crevices. Now and then a turtle passing through.

When to go

As a second or third dive of the day, in calm sea. This side lies in the lee and is almost always usable.

WHAT DISAPPOINTS

Nothing special to see, and that is not a complaint but a description. Reachable only by boat. No facilities on the island.
