Seahorses of Bonaire 🐴🌊
Bonaire is home to three charming seahorse species! Spot the Longsnout (Slender) Seahorse in shades of yellow, brown, or orange on reefs and seagrass, the colorful Lined Seahorse, and the tiny Dwarf Seahorse—just 1–2 inches of pure magic tucked into shallow seagrass beds. Masters of camouflage, these slow-moving little wonders use their curly tails to hold onto corals and grasses, and fun fact--the males carry the babies! Finding one feels like discovering a tiny underwater treasure. With Bonaire’s calm waters, healthy reefs, and lush seagrass beds, it’s the perfect place to slow down, look closely, and experience some truly magical macro diving. Keep your eyes peeled—you never know when a little seahorse might be watching you right back! |
|
Bonaire’s Cutest Little Homebody
The tiny but mighty yellow-head jawfish is one of Bonaire’s most entertaining underwater characters! With its bright yellow head and curious personality, this little fish pops up from its sandy burrow like a jack-in-the-box, keeping a watchful eye on passing divers. You’ll often see it hovering bravely above its carefully built home, mouth full of sand as it tidies up its front yard. Patient divers are rewarded with a front-row seat to one of the reef’s most charming and quirky residents — proof that some of Bonaire’s biggest smiles come in very small packages. |
|
Bonaire’s Masters of Disguise
Bonaire’s reefs are home to the quirky frogfish, the ultimate masters of camouflage! These chunky little ambush predators can blend perfectly into sponges, corals, and rocks, often looking more like a lumpy piece of reef than a fish. Instead of chasing prey, frogfish use a tiny lure on their head like a fishing rod, wiggling it to attract an unsuspecting snack before gulping it down in the blink of an eye. Spotting one is like winning an underwater game of hide-and-seek—making frogfish a must-see treasure for divers exploring Bonaire’s vibrant reefs. |
Dive Right In at 18th Palm — Plaza Beach’s House Reef!

Bonaire Marine Park
Bonaire sits just north of Venezuela in the southern Caribbean, and this Dutch Caribbean island is a true diver’s paradise. For over four decades, Bonaire has fiercely protected its marine environment through the Bonaire National Marine Park, creating one of the healthiest reef systems in the Caribbean.
Beneath the surface you’ll find thriving coral reefs and abundant sea life, with more than 350 species of fish and nearly 60 coral species calling these waters home.
The waters around Bonaire are part of a protected Marina Park, managed by STINAPA. All users of the Marine Park have to pay the required fee and the costs are $40 dollar for all water activities (see link at the end).
After the registration you will receive a confirmation via email with a QR-code (can come into the junk) and this is your proove of payment. In case you are checked by a ranger, he/ she can find you back in their back-office system with your last name and date of birth. That is why you do not have to cary the QR-code with you. When you would like to visit the Washington Slagbaai National Park, it is better to bring the QR-code with you together with your identification card.
