Munk’s Haven

★★★★☆ (249)

The most westerly dive site on Klein Bonaire. Due to the gently sloping bottom, this site is also very suitable for snorkelers and beginning divers. Only from 12 meters the reef slopes steeper.

You will encounter a lot of typical life for Bonaire here. From life on sand to a full-grown reef. At depth you will find a cleaning station.
