Salt City Salina Abou Mqk9
Accessible Bonaire shore reef with sand channels and turtles.
Easy shore entry, sand channels, and moderate current make Salt City a classic Bonaire all-levels reef.
About Salt City Salina Abou Mqk9
Salt City is a Bonaire shore dive with sand channels, a double reef, and a shallow seagrass zone that make it unusually flexible for a southwest-coast reef. The site is easy to reach from shore, but the ironshore entry and the deeper second reef mean the best experience comes from planning the route rather than simply following the shore. Expect turtles, parrotfish, morays, stingrays, and triggerfish on a calm Bonaire day.
