BABY BEACH
Bonaire
Baby Beach is a dive site in the east part of Bonaire with large fish species. Nurse sharks, eagle rays, stingrays, tarpons and reef sharks can sometimes be seen here. The current is strong at Baby Beach, too strong for unexperienced divers but great for a nice drift dive. The reef consists of soft and hard corals. It descends steeply to 30 meters and than transforms into a sandy bottom. Dive with a local guide, especially in harsh weather conditions.
Particulars
Entering the water at Baby Beach can be difficult because of the high surf and strong current. Sufficiënt diving experience and good physical condition is necessary.
Warnings
High waves and strong currents. Dive with a local guide. Diving is only possible with little wind and enough experience. Beware of rip current, to the right of the entry point!
