38- Bachelor's Beach
Dive site number 38 –Bachelor’s Beach is an easily accessible dive site that offers a relaxing entry into the water thanks to its small sandy beach. From the shore, you can walk straight into the shallow, calm bay, making it a pleasant place to get comfortable with your equipment and the underwater conditions. The dive itself is clear and easy to navigate, with several natural reference points to help you stay oriented.
Bachelor’s Beach is also the house reef of Beyond The Corals, a highly skilled dive school located opposite the beach. They are known for their professional guidance and are actively involved in nature restoration. Beyond The Corals works intensively to restore coral trees, contributing to the recovery of the local reef. This makes the site not only accessible but also special, thanks to the dedication to preserving Bonaire’s marine life for the future.

💡Personal advice💡
- From the shore, I point my compass at the buoy. Once I locate the buoy underwater, I make a slight left turn and then pass the coral trees of Beyond The Corals. I use these coral trees together with the buoy at the end of the dive to navigate back to shore.
- During your dive at Bachelor’s Beach, you will most likely encounter the coral trees of Beyond The Corals. Under the supervision of Freddy, the manager at Beyond The Corals, the team works with volunteers to maintain and clean the coral trees. Freddy personally trained me, and I highly recommend the Reef Renewal course to anyone interested in coral conservation.
- After my dive, I often have lunch at King Kong on Bachelor’s Beach. They serve delicious burgers, hot dogs, and also good vegetarian options.
