THOUSAND STEPS
Bonaire
Thousand Steps is one of the most famous dive sites of Bonaire. You park at the top of a cliff, then you take the staircase with 67 steps down. The staircase is the reason for the name thousand Steps. At the end of the stairs you can prepare for your dive. You see a lot of brain and stag horn corals, gorgonide rods, springs and whips. Permanent residents include turtles and moray eels. For those who think the staircase is too long, you can always reach Thousand Steps per boat. Also a perfect snorkel location.
Particulars
Thousand Steps has an easy entry from a beach. Because of the long staircase it’s a relatively quiet location, with beautiful underwater scenery.
Warnings
Be aware. You will have to climb down the long staircase with all your dive equipment. Quite a task! Make sure that your belongings are secure!
