About Toris Reef Pqnp
Toris Reef Pqnp is a Bonaire south-coast shore dive near the Salt Pier, where a shallow sand flat leads into reef lines and a broader wall system. On calm days it is a classic self-contained island dive for rays, turtles, barracuda, and reef fish; when the outflow channel or wind builds, the entry gets more athletic and the dive becomes more current-aware.
