PLAYA FRANS
Bonaire
Playa Frans is a nice dive spot just before a fishing beach with small houses and fishing boats. Dive over the undulating landscape full of coral formations. Besides coral you also come across lots of fish. The parrotfish, doctor's fish and grommets are permanent residents of Playa Frans. The shallow, clear water also makes this an excellent location for snorkeling.
Particulars
Playa Frans can be reached via a bumpy dirt track. Enter the water via the concrete quay or via the beach next to it. You reach the reef via a zone with dead coral, followed by a sandy bottom. The reef starts at 8 meters and then gradually ends.
