About Something Special (32)
Something Special is a close-to-town Bonaire shore dive with an easy walk-in entry, a shallow reef that opens onto sand and coral rubble, and a lively slope that rewards slow fish spotting. It is a relaxed but popular little reef rather than a dramatic wall, and it works well for photographers, snorkelers, and divers who want lots of small life, simple logistics, and a forgiving entry.

Scuba Diving
Simple shore dive with a shallow reef start, a gentle profile, and enough outer slope to make a relaxed multilevel dive.
