Protected shore reef with turtles and stingrays.
South Bonaire shore dive with a protected turtle beach, shallow coral start, and deeper coral slope; best on calm surf days because current can build quickly.
About Sweet Dreams (59)
Sweet Dreams is a south Bonaire shore dive with a protected turtle beach, a shallow coral start, and a deeper sand-and-coral slope. The site feels dreamy on calm days because turtles, stingrays, barracudas, and reef fish show up close to shore, but surf and current can turn the entry into the real test of the dive. Soft coral and gorgonian life add more color deeper down.
