Vista Blue (58) is a Bonaire shore wall dive with soft corals.
Vista Blue (58) is a classic Bonaire shore dive with a shallow terrace that rolls into a steep wall and a sandy bottom beyond. The reef is famous for dense soft corals and a busy mix of reef fish, rays, and occasional sharks, making it a strong all-round Caribbean dive. Plan a careful shore entry and watch the surface, because waves, surfers, and busy weekends can make the start or exit less comfortable.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
A shallow terrace leads into a steep wall and then to sand, so the dive rewards an easy pace and attention to the reef line.
Freediving
Experienced freedivers can use the shallow terrace, but the rocky entry and changing surface conditions make it less forgiving than it looks.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling works over the shallow terrace on calm days, but the wall and deeper reef life sit below casual surface viewing.
