WILLEMS TOREN
Bonaire
Lighthouse is an unique dive site, located at the southern tip of Bonaire. You'll find a stunningly beautiful and pristine reef of soft corals. The strong current carries a lot of plankton, which attracts larger fish species such as barracudas and tarpons but also causes visibility to be somewhat limited. Don’t dive here when the winds are strong.
Particulars
Park at Willemstoren at the Lighthouse and enter the water at this point. In calm conditions this might be one of Bonaire's most beautiful dive sites.
Warnings
Don’t dive at Willemstoren Lighthouse on windy days. Current can come from two directions and may change or increase during your dive. Beware of uneven bottom while entering and leaving the water.
