This dive site, Aquarius (46), is a stunning double reef located off the coast of Bonaire. Divers will begin with a bit of a swim over beautiful corals to reach the first drop-off and reef. The dive can then proceed to the deeper second reef, which requires a longer swim and careful monitoring of air supply. There is no specific historical information or story provided for this dive site.
Aquarius is home to typical Caribbean marine life. Divers can expect to encounter various fish species such as snapper, angelfish, grunts, and parrotfish. Larger marine life frequently seen includes nurse sharks, reef sharks, and there is a possibility of spotting eagle rays and stingrays. The site is characterized by its beautiful coral formations, contributing to a vibrant and healthy reef ecosystem.
The best time to visit Aquarius, like most of Bonaire, is year-round, benefiting from consistently warm waters and excellent visibility. Divers should pay close attention to their air supply, particularly when considering the extended swim to the deeper second reef. This site offers good opportunities for wide-angle photography, focusing on the expansive reef landscape and larger marine animals. Both snorkelers and freedivers can comfortably enjoy the shallower sections of the first reef.
