Number of Spaces: 
Currently 10 but can be more

Dates:
28th May 2022 - 4th June 2022 (back in the UK 5th June)

Bonaire
Bonaire is officially recognised as having the most pristine coral reef and the most species of fish in the Caribbean by the NOAA. Bonaire is famous for its world class diving and snorkelling - consistently named Best Overall Dive Destination by Scuba Diving Magazine’s readers. The Reef Environmental Education Foundation lists eight of Bonaire’s dive sites in their top 10 in terms of species richness in the Caribbean.

On Bonaire most diving is shore diving - dive when you like - pretty much where you like. Snorkellers should note the short diving sites as they mark sites of special interest and, as the reef is close to shore, they can enjoy the fantastic underwater world too.
