Eighteen Palm Rozo is a Bonaire house reef with sandy entry and a double reef.
Eighteen Palm Rozo is a Bonaire house reef with sandy shore entry and a clear double-reef profile. The shallow inner reef suits relaxed dives and snorkeling, while the outer reef adds sand channels, deeper structure, and more fish life. The sheltered west-side setting usually keeps current light, so the site works well for easygoing daytime dives and night dives when offered once the nature fee and any day pass are sorted out.
