REEF SCIENTIFICO
Bonaire
Reef Scientifico is located just south of dive site, La Machaca near Captain Don's Habitat. The name refers to a grid system that was once designed to study the growth of algae on the reef. The conditions at Reef Scientifico are similar to those of La Machaca. Both sites are wonderful for snorkeling and night diving. Permanent residents of this reef are morays and parrot fish.
