This dive site, Belleveu, serves as the house reef for the hotel/apartment of the same name on Bonaire. It begins with a wide sandy area that gently slopes towards a beautiful wall, offering easy navigation for divers. While guests can access it directly from shore, non-guests typically require boat access to explore this convenient and vibrant site.
Divers can expect to encounter the typical rich marine life characteristic of Bonaire's reefs. The sandy patches are known for sightings of various rays. The reef itself hosts a diverse array of colorful reef fish, vibrant corals, and other invertebrates common to the Caribbean, making it a lively underwater ecosystem.
Belleveu is suitable for diving year-round, with Bonaire offering consistently warm waters and excellent visibility. It's an ideal spot for beginners due to its shallow average depth and mild currents, while advanced divers can enjoy exploring the wall section. Freedivers will also find the 20-meter maximum depth and clear conditions appealing for breath-hold dives.
