Secluded Bonaire shore reef with coral and big fish.
NOTICE: Site still closed for diving still due to SCTLD, please look to STINAPA Bonaire for any updates (October 2025). Nukove is a less frequented dive site where divers can appreciate the well-preserved coral formations. The dive begins at a drop-off where sharks, including nurse and reef sharks, are often observed. The site is home to a variety of Caribbean marine life, including potential sightings of eagle rays and stingrays, along with numerous fish species such as snapper, angelfish, grunts, and parrotfish. The entry to the site is from the shore, making it accessible for divers looking for a more secluded experience.
