About Alice in Wonderland
Alice in Wonderland is a south Bonaire shore dive near the salt flats, known for a sandy approach, a broad first reef, and a second reef beyond the channel. Soft and hard corals, large sponges, and roaming reef fish shape the site, while the outer reef is where larger pelagics and rays are more likely to pass.
