Country Garden (14) is a boat dive with limestone pillars and reef life.
Country Garden (14) is a boat-accessed Bonaire site built around limestone pillars and reef structure in the island's north. The pillars create swim-throughs and ledges where reef fish, rays, and sharks can move through the site. Moderate current and clear water make it better for divers who like an open layout rather than a sheltered cove. Bonaire's marine-park rules and boat-only access make it a managed dive site, not a casual shore stop.

Scuba Diving
Good for beginner-intermediate divers who want structure, reef fish, and manageable current on a boat dive.
Freediving
The site is better suited to scuba than freedive because the main structure sits beyond casual breath-hold range.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is not the main use case here; the action sits below comfortable surface range.
