Dive Sites:

17- Weber's Joy / Witches Hut
South of 1000 Steps, this is a delightful shore dive with lots of fish life: rock beauties, angels, and butterflies abound. A great spot for wide-angle photos. Look for a large lavender stovepipe sponge just south of the mooring. Depth 20-100 feet (6-30 meters).

18- Jeff Davis Memorial
The shallows on this site are covered with gorgonians. It's a good place for spotting a turtle or sea horse. There are a number of large coral accumulations forming chutes that lead to a sandy bottom. Depth 20-100 feet (6-30 meters).

19- Kalli's Reef
Named after a Bonaire National Marine Park Manager, this site is located between Jeff Davis Memorial and Oil Slick Leap, and is considered a very popular stretch of reef. Although only accessible as a boat dive, Kalli's Reef also offers excellent snorkeling opportunities and is a good location for spotting seahorses and turtles. Depth 30-100 feet (10-30 meters).

20- Oil Slick Leap
Though recommended as a boat dive, the adventurous can find a steel ladder leading to the water from shore. Named Oil Slick Leap because this was the site originally proposed for the oil storage terminal. The area is, happily, still available to divers. Large schools of barracude are often seen here. Depth 20-80 feet (6-25 meters).
