Roadside shore entry with a rocky step-in, shallow reef close to shore, and usually light current; best when the west coast is calm and surge is low.
About Andrea II
Andrea II is a relaxed north-Bonaire shore dive with a rocky shoreline, easy parking, and a broad shallow reef terrace that opens into coral patches and deeper reef structure. It is usually chosen for straightforward self-guided scuba or snorkeling when the west coast is calm, with reef fish, morays, turtles, and occasional seahorse sightings giving the site more life than its quiet roadside setting suggests.

Local Intel For Andrea II
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba
Most divers enter from the roadside parking area and work out over the shallow terrace before angling deeper along the reef. The layout suits long, easy profiles and navigation is simple in ordinary conditions.
Snorkel
Andrea II also works well for snorkelers because fish life and coral start close to shore, but the entry is still rocky and surface conditions matter.
