About Joanne’s Sunchi (J)
Joanne's Sunchi is a boat-access Klein Bonaire site with a shallow sandy plateau that tips into a steep wall. Sand chutes, large tube sponges, and coral rubble shape the upper section, while the deeper face builds into denser coral and fish life. It suits steady profiles and gradual depth changes, with sand tilefish and other reef life gathering above the drop-off.
