The sea conditions are similar throughout the year. The water temperatures averages 84°F (29°C).
Many dive sites, especially those along the west coast of the island, barely have any current. The north and east coast, however, can have strong to very strong currents.
One of the best locations to enjoy outstanding visibility; on average, the visibility in Bonaire exceeds 100 feet/30 meters.

Hawksbill turtles, loggerhead turtles, green turtles, tangs, creole wrasse, sergeant majors, angelfish, butterflyfish, seahorses are some of the common sea creatures divers can encounter in Bonaire. The island is not known for big fish, but some wreck dive sites may have some barracudas, groupers, and large tarpons swimming around.
The Reef
The reef around Bonaire is in perfect condition due to the conservation efforts in the area. Plus, it’s so close to the shore you can easily swim there. Great shore diving destination, remember?
Colorful hard corals, soft corals, table corals, and tube sponges provide a stunning sight and are home to a multitude of species of fish.
Wrecks
The wreck dive sites in Bonaire can also be accessed by shore. Resting in the waters surrounding the island for dozens of years, the wrecks are coated with beautiful corals and sponges, and a plentitude of fish swim by them daily. Local dive operators have also worked to make some of the wrecks safe so divers can penetrate them.
