Tourism Corporation Bonaire resort listing with dive-center and visitor rules.
Delphins Reef is a calm Bonaire house reef with easy shore access.
Delphins Reef is a calm Bonaire house reef with easy shore access.
House reef dives are run through the on-site dive center and marine-park orientation.
Delphins Reef is the house reef at a Bonaire resort, combining easy beach and pier access with a broad sandy plateau, healthy coral slope, and a deeper wall offshore. It works well for self-paced dives and snorkel sessions, while the outer reef still rewards careful looking for turtles, rays, tarpon, and other Bonaire fish life. On a good day the water is calm and clear, so you spend more time enjoying the reef than managing the entry.
