Dive Sites:

53- Pink Beach
Just off one of Bonaire's most famous beaches, the current can be strong. Stingrays and bonefish are often seen along the shallow sandy bottom. The deep pink found imbedded in nearly every grain of sand is actually a creature called a foramins, which builds its nest from colored minerals, reddish in this case. Depth 25-90 feet (8-30 meters).

54- White Slave
Divers enjoy this site, since turtles are nearly always seen. The site is named for the white pinnacle and slave huts that are on shore opposite the mooring. Depth 20-100 feet (6-30 meters).

55- Margate Bay
Named for the black margates found sleeping with other species of snapper among the gorgonian corals along the drop off, this is another place where turtles are commonly seen. Depth 20-100 feet (6-30 meters).

56- Red Beryl
Another good site for spotting turtles and rays. Schooling fish are often seen feeding near the surface. Depth 30-100 feet (9-30 meters).
