Southern Bonaire lighthouse site with a rocky shore entry, strong current swings, and a soft-coral reef that only really shines on calm days.
About Willemstoren Lighthouse E9Jy
Willemstoren Lighthouse is a windward Bonaire reef dive on the southern tip of the island, with a rocky shore entry, strong and sometimes two-directional current, and a reef that rewards calm conditions. The soft-coral slope can be gorgeous when the water settles, and the site can bring in barracuda, tarpon, turtles, wrasse, rays, and other fish life. Plan it as a weather-sensitive dive: windy days make the entry, exit, and underwater flow much less forgiving.
