This includes a variety of colorful reef fish such as parrotfish, angelfish, damselfish, and wrasse, alongside moray eels peeking from crevices. Keep an eye out for garden eels in the sandy patches and the occasional ray gliding over the seabed, as well as a diverse array of healthy hard and soft corals that form the reef structure.
Bonaire offers excellent diving conditions year-round, making Lighthouse Point a great destination at any time. The highlight of this site is the healthy coral reef system and the potential to spot rays on the sand flats. Its mild currents and manageable depths make it particularly suitable for beginner divers and a relaxing spot for freedivers looking to explore the reef and sandy areas.
