Bonaire Dive Photos – Our Favorites

Taking excellent dive photos in Bonaire is always easier when diving in clear, blue water. In the Dutch Caribbean, the water is beautiful. With water like air, it’s also more fun keeping track of your buddy. Communicating with each other in endless visibility and is simple. So is checking out incredible sea life. Of course with such water clarity, it is always important to keep an eye on your computer and watch your depth.

PHOTOGRAPHING CORAL

The ambient light in the shallows will allow you to take true to life, spectacular photos. No matter which camera you use of corals, fish and other marine life will look great.

SHORE DIVING HEAVEN

Easy shore diving for all levels. Load up your rental truck and hit the road. You just look for the site markers and hop out and go for a dive.

CRYSTAL CLEAR WATER

The water is so clear that you may think you are in a swimming pool, or, an aquarium. It is such a treat to see the beauty of the underwater world without particulate in our photos.

COOL ARTIFICIAL REEFS

Many of the artificial reefs are fun to goof around on. The are also great props for interesting underwater pictures. Of course, it is a reef, so be careful not to touch, so all the living creatures stay safe.

LOVE BONAIRE DIVE WORKOUTS

In scuba diving, it’s important to stay in shape & practice your skills. In a place with such calm waters such as Bonaire, that’s easy to do. The tight wire is not one of the skills you need to practice!

SHARING WITH DIVE BUDDIES

When you see something cool, it’s important to get your buddies attention. Grabbing a fin is one way to do that. It also gives the benefit of making your friend laugh, which makes diving even more fun!

BEAUTIFUL SCHOOL OF FISH

The huge schools of Blue Tangs will awe you and make an excellent photo opportunity. There are many species of fish. It’s fun trying to id them all.

BRILLIANT COLORS

The ambient light is pretty amazing in these clear waters. Having enough a light lets you see the actual colors of the underwater fish and corals.
