Klein Bonaire boat reef with staghorn coral and seahorses.
Klein Bonaire boat reef with staghorn coral and seahorses.
Boat access to Klein Bonaire makes a local operator or water taxi the normal setup.
Monte's Divi Tree (H) is a Klein Bonaire boat dive with shallow coral gardens up top and a longer sloping reef below. The site is known for staghorn coral in the shallows and a good chance of seahorses, with plenty of reef life along the slope. Plan on a short boat ride from Bonaire, calm conditions, and a dive that rewards slow, careful exploration rather than speed. It also works well as a snorkel-friendly stop in the shallows.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best as a relaxed boat dive with a shallow start and a longer slope for divers who want to keep exploring.
Freediving
The shallow coral garden can suit a short breath-hold look, but the site is more natural as a snorkel or scuba stop.
Snorkeling
Yes in the shallows, especially over the staghorn patches, but the deeper slope is better left to scuba.
