About Belleveu
Belleveu is Bellevue’s house reef in Belnem, set up as a sandy approach that turns into a wall-style reef once you move off the beach. The public version of the site is boat-based, while the residence side gives guests a private beach, dive lockers, and rinse facilities. Plan it as a straightforward Bonaire reef dive with easy navigation over sand and reef edge, then expect rays on the bottom and the usual island reef mix along the wall.

Safety Notes
Watch the sandy patches for rays, treat the boat entry conservatively, and do not assume the private-beach side is open to the public.
Access Restrictions
If you are not a guest of the hotel/apartment, plan on boat access only; the shore side is private.
Legal Notes
Bonaire diving requires the STINAPA nature fee, and private-residence access rules still control the beachfront side here.
Local Intel For Belleveu
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Expect a broad sandy apron that leads into a wall-style reef. Keep the profile simple and use the sand as your navigation cue before the reef edge.
Freediving
Not a primary freedive target; the public access mode is boat-based and the wall profile is better suited to scuba planning.
Snorkeling
Guest-side snorkeling can work from the private beach on calm days, but the public listing is not a snorkel-first site.
Chill / Non-diver
For guests, the residence side is a relaxed base with beach, pool, and gear-rinse basics; the public dive side still has access restrictions.
