Red Slave Peleke Apb3
Southern Bonaire shore dive with steep reef and strong currents.
Red Slave sits on Bonaire's southern leeward coast and is one of the island's harder shore dives.
About Red Slave Peleke Apb3
Red Slave is a southern Bonaire shore dive that starts near the slave huts and drops quickly into a steep reef with soft coral and fish action. The site is famous for unpredictable currents, so the reward is strongest for divers who can read the water, stay flexible on the plan, and get in early when the conditions line up for rays and other open-water visitors. It is a classic Bonaire challenge dive rather than a casual entry.
