Salt Pier L5Jg
Easy Bonaire shore dive with pillars, fish, and photos.
A shore-access Bonaire pier dive with pillar structure, fish shadows, and calm-water appeal for photographers and newer divers.
About Salt Pier L5Jg
Salt Pier L5Jg is a straightforward Bonaire shore dive with easy access, fish-filled shadows, and pier pillars coated in sponge and coral growth. It is best for calm-water exploration and photography, with a shallow-to-moderate profile that suits relaxed sessions rather than deep or current-heavy planning. On a good day the pier itself becomes the main underwater structure, with schools of fish under the span and reef life just beyond the shadows.
