Bonaire is a perfect year-round destination because it lies outside the Caribbean storm belt. Bring your 3 mm full wetsuit and dive into the 78- to 81-degree Fahrenheit sea.

MUST DIVE:

Karpata
A short swim brings you to the dramatic wall that makes up this northwestern shore dive. After taking in the panoramic views of the abyss, keep your eyes open for the massive elkhorn corals that hide criters like octopuses and eels.

Hilma Hooker
Bonaire's beloved wreck doesn't disappoint with 100-foot depths and a massive 240-foot artifical reef waiting to be explored. Minimal penetration opportunities make this great for newer divers.

Buddy's Reef
Located right off the dock at Buddy Dive Resort, this accessible spot boasts a nursery of coral and fish, a majestic wall dive, and even a wreck, La Machaca — a former fishing vessel that sits at about 50 feet.
