Usually dived from shore in calm west-coast conditions, with good visibility and light current; navigation is the main challenge because the two reef lines can look similar on the return.

About Angel City (44)

Angel City is a shore-access double-reef site on Bonaire's leeward coast, known for a broad sand channel between two reef lines and coral formations that create arches, overhangs, and swim-through style passages. The dive starts from an easy beach approach, then follows healthy reef structure with enough variety to reward relaxed navigation, photography, and a slow return along the shallower reef.
