Bonaire is een fijne plek om te wonen, maar bewoners willen actie tegen vervuiling en de gezondheidseffecten daarvan.
Wij adviseren om snel maatregelen te nemen en te starten met metingen en gezondheidsonderzoek voor meer inzicht.
Ook voor het hele eiland is meer inzicht in milieu en gezondheid belangrijk voor gerichte stappen.

Ein Gericht verpflichtet die #Niederlande, die #Karibikinsel #Bonaire besser vor #Klimawandelfolgen zu schützen.
Die bisherigen Maßnahmen gelten als unzureichend. Die Regierung muss innerhalb von 18 Monaten Ziele zur Reduktion von #Treibhausgasen festlegen und den Schutz der Insel bis 2030 stärken. Die Kläger verweisen auf Risiken durch steigenden #Meeresspiegel und #Hitze. Das Urteil gilt als wichtiger Testfall nach einem Gutachten des Internationalen Gerichtshofs.

Climate and Law:
Dutch court judges that the Netherlands needs to step up it’s climate adaptation efforts for Dutch Caribbean island of Bonaire.
Not doing so is discriminatory towards inhabitants of the Kingdom.
NL also needs to get cracking on climate neutrality by 2050, but we knew NL judges’ views on that already.

Karibikinsel Bonaire
Niederlande müssen Insel vor Klimawandel schützen
" Es ist nicht die erste Schlappe der Niederlande in einem Klima-Prozess. 2018 gab das Berufungsgericht der Umweltorganisation Urgenda recht und verpflichtete den Staat dazu, seine CO2-Emissionen bis 2020 um mindestens ein Viertel zu reduzieren. "
So eine Gerichtsbarkeit wünsche ich mir auch für Deutschland. Wir haben zwar glücklicherweise keine Überseebesitzungen aber hier im Lande ist auch einiges im Argen.

„ Auf der kleinen Karibikinsel Bonaire ist der Klimawandel deutlich spürbar. Der steigende Meeresspiegel bedroht Mensch und Natur, der Tourismus geht zurück, die Armut wächst. Im Namen der Einwohner zog Greenpeace vor Gericht - das Urteil dürfte für die Niederlande teuer werden.“Ich hätte mir noch mehr gewünscht, aber es ist ein guter Anfang!

Finally some real good climate news: in a case of Greenpeace vs the Dutch government, a judge has ordered the Dutch government to set binding goals within 18 months to reduce emissions. They also have to do more to protect the people of Bonaire, a Caribbean island that is a special municipality (officially "public body") of the Netherlands, against the effects of climate change. #Bonaire #Climatechange #GreenPeace #Climate #ClimateCrisis https://nltimes.nl/2026/01/28/dutch-government-ordered-protect-bonaire-residents-climate-change-court-rules

The World’s Best Shore Diving Destinations
Shore diving offers unparalleled freedom for underwater explorers—skip the boat schedules, dive on your own terms, and experience the ocean with nothing but a beach entry between you and the deep. But if you ask most divers for a recommendation, you’ll almost always hear the same answer: Bonaire. While that legendary island is indeed the “Shore Diving Capital,” restricting yourself to just one destination misses out on some of the planet’s most dramatic underwater environments.
I’ve explored shore sites across four continents, filming everything from the glacial fissures of Iceland to the volcanic wrecks of Bali. In this guide, I’m shaking up the standard list. I have saved Bonaire for the grand finale. Before we get there, I want to introduce you to eight other world-class destinations that rival it, each offering unique landscapes, rare marine life, and the same spirit of independence that makes shore diving so rewarding.
Iceland
Silfra Fissure: Diving Between Continental Plates
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJ19M9GzDM8?si=Y1V1wN6_niYA3ae6&w=560&h=315]Iceland’s Silfra fissure offers one of the world’s most unique shore diving experiences—literally swimming between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. The crystal-clear glacial meltwater provides visibility exceeding 100 meters, creating an otherworldly, almost surreal diving environment.
While the 2-4°C water temperature requires a drysuit and proper thermal protection, the experience is unforgettable. The vivid blue water, dramatic rock formations, and the knowledge that you’re touching two continents at once makes this cold-water shore dive worth every shiver.
Iceland’s Unique Experience
- 100+ meter visibility in glacial water
- Dive between tectonic plates
- Otherworldly underwater landscapes
- UNESCO World Heritage site diving
- Completely unique geological experience
- Combination with Iceland’s natural wonders
Maldives
Laamu Atoll’s Luxury Shore Diving
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyYffpaNgD0?si=kLahWqWU1CD1iMd1&w=560&h=315]The Maldives typically conjures images of liveaboards and channel diving, but Laamu Atoll offers exceptional shore diving directly from resort house reefs. These pristine reef systems feature incredible coral health, resident manta rays, and the kind of tropical fish diversity that makes the Indian Ocean famous.
The house reef drop-offs plunge into deep blue channels, creating thrilling wall dives accessible without a boat. While the Maldives represents a significant investment, the unlimited shore diving from luxury resorts provides unmatched convenience and world-class conditions.
Maldives Shore Diving Benefits
- Pristine house reef systems
- Potential manta and whale shark encounters
- Crystal clear Indian Ocean waters
- Luxury resort convenience
- Dramatic reef drop-offs from shore
- Unlimited diving on your schedule
Fiji
Nadi’s Soft Coral Gardens from the Beach
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uuw_Bj_Zyxo?si=bSxIfkpyTsL-I-Um&w=560&h=315]Fiji is world-renowned for its soft corals, and the Nadi area offers surprising shore diving opportunities to experience these vibrant underwater gardens. While Fiji is primarily known as a liveaboard and resort diving destination, certain locations around Nadi and the Coral Coast provide accessible shore entries to healthy reefs.
The soft coral coverage creates a kaleidoscope of colors, and the South Pacific fish diversity means every dive reveals something new. The warm Fijian hospitality extends underwater, where the locals will enthusiastically point out the best entry spots.
Fiji’s Shore Diving Appeal
- Famous soft coral coverage
- Warm, clear tropical waters
- South Pacific marine biodiversity
- Resort-based shore diving options
- Combination with world-class boat diving
- Incredible Fijian hospitality
Marsa Alam, Egypt
Red Sea Reefs Without the Crowds
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmJY0ldvyB8?si=zzFaDPNbfA_IznyG&w=560&h=315]While most Red Sea divers flock to Sharm el-Sheikh, Marsa Alam offers world-class shore diving with a fraction of the crowds. The pristine reefs here rival anything in the Red Sea, with spectacular hard coral formations, walls covered in soft corals, and exceptional visibility often exceeding 30 meters.
Marsa Alam is particularly famous for encounters with dugongs, dolphins, and sea turtles. Many resort house reefs provide unlimited diving right from the beach, and legendary sites like Elphinstone Reef are accessible by boat when you want to mix it up.
Marsa Alam Highlights
- Pristine Red Sea coral reefs
- Regular dugong and dolphin encounters
- Excellent house reef diving from resorts
- Outstanding visibility and water clarity
- Less crowded than northern Red Sea
- Warm water and comfortable conditions
Dumaguete, Philippines
Dauin’s Macro Paradise and Muck Diving Mecca
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QqCfP2QoVE?si=3G682hWl19dj7D81&w=560&h=315]Dumaguete’s Dauin area represents the Philippines’ premier muck diving and macro photography destination. The black sand slopes and volcanic substrate create the perfect habitat for bizarre critters—frogfish, blue-ring octopus, ornate ghost pipefish, harlequin shrimp, and countless nudibranch species.
Multiple resorts offer house reef diving directly from their beaches, and the easy entries from black sand make gear-up simple. This is where underwater photographers come to find those rare critters that appear in magazines, all accessible from shore.
Dauin’s Unique Offerings
- World-class macro and muck diving
- Incredible biodiversity of critters
- Multiple accessible house reefs
- Affordable diving and accommodations
- Easy black sand entries
- Nearby Apo Island for reef diving
Grand Cayman
Crystal Clear Caribbean Shore Diving
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEAaaa_Qk8o?si=rUbJ-kGfYThR11uz&w=560&h=315]Grand Cayman offers some of the Caribbean’s clearest water and healthiest reefs, with several excellent shore diving options along the West Bay and Seven Mile Beach areas. The visibility routinely exceeds 100 feet, and the protected western shore provides calm conditions ideal for shore diving.
While Grand Cayman is famous for its wall diving (often boat-accessed), the shore sites provide outstanding experiences with healthy coral, abundant fish life, and the occasional stingray or sea turtle. The developed infrastructure makes logistics simple, though prices reflect the island’s upscale tourism.
Grand Cayman Advantages
- Exceptional water clarity and visibility
- Healthy coral reefs close to shore
- Easy access from Seven Mile Beach area
- Well-developed diving infrastructure
- Calm conditions year-round on west side
- Combination of shore and boat options
Curaçao
Caribbean Walls and Drop-Offs Steps from Shore
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RthxWkIIDQw?si=B8Dn_PBsCQkiO9DY&w=560&h=315]Curaçao delivers Bonaire’s shore diving convenience with more dramatic underwater topography. The island’s leeward coast features steep drop-offs and vertical walls just meters from the beach, creating an impressive sense of diving into the deep blue.
With over 40 shore-accessible sites, Curaçao offers excellent variety—from shallow coral gardens perfect for training to deep walls exceeding 200 feet. The protected western coast ensures calm conditions most days, and the Dutch Caribbean culture adds European flair to this diving paradise.
What Makes Curaçao Special
- Dramatic wall diving from shore entries
- 40+ marked dive sites along the coast
- Excellent coral health and biodiversity
- Calm conditions year-round
- Mix of shallow reefs and deep walls
- European infrastructure and culture
Bali, Indonesia
Amed & Tulamben: Wrecks, Walls, and Volcanic Reefs
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrCffR5fVHk?si=QQC2v1VzQ3DC_s1f&w=560&h=315]Bali’s northeast coast offers some of Asia’s most spectacular shore diving. The star attraction is the USAT Liberty wreck in Tulamben—a 120-meter cargo ship sunk during WWII, now sitting just 30 meters from the black sand beach. You can walk in with full gear and explore this massive wreck covered in soft corals and surrounded by schools of jacks and bumphead parrotfish.
Beyond the Liberty, Amed and Tulamben feature dramatic volcanic drop-offs, coral gardens, and exceptional macro life. The unique black sand environment creates an otherworldly diving experience unlike anywhere else in the world.
Why Bali Stands Out
- Walk-in access to the famous USAT Liberty wreck
- Incredible macro photography opportunities
- Dramatic volcanic underwater landscapes
- Affordable diving and accommodations
- Multiple sites within short driving distance
- Warm water year-round (27-29°C)
Bonaire
The Shore Diving Capital of the Caribbean
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uIE667vywM?si=Mmg-5K3ejBJmXTv8&w=560&h=315]Bonaire has earned its reputation as the world’s premier shore diving destination. With over 60 marked dive sites along the western coast, you can literally drive your rental truck to different reefs throughout the day, park under a divi-divi tree, and walk straight into pristine Caribbean waters.
The island’s protected marine park status ensures healthy coral reefs teeming with life. (Check out my detailed Bonaire Trip Report and Photo Gallery for a closer look.)
Why Bonaire Excels
- 60+ accessible shore dive sites with marked entries
- Healthy coral reefs with abundant marine life
- Excellent visibility averaging 80-100+ feet
- Easy beach and pier entries for all skill levels
- Drive-and-dive convenience with rental trucks
- Year-round diving with calm conditions

Explore All Diving DestinationsShore Diving Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about shore diving destinations, requirements, and planning your next underwater adventure.
What is the best destination for beginner shore divers?
+Bonaire is the best destination for beginner shore divers. The island offers easy beach entries, calm conditions year-round, excellent visibility, and over 60 marked dive sites with minimal currents. The shallow reef systems allow beginners to build confidence, and the drive-and-dive convenience means you can go at your own pace without boat schedules.
Grand Cayman is another excellent choice, with crystal-clear water, gentle entries at sites like Eden Rock, and calm protected shores along Seven Mile Beach.
Do I need special equipment for shore diving?
+Shore diving requires mostly standard scuba equipment, but a few items are particularly important:
- Sturdy fins: You’ll need good propulsion for surface swims and potentially rocky entries
- Surface marker buoy (SMB): Essential for safety when surfacing away from shore
- Dive boots: Protect your feet during beach or rocky entries
- Proper exposure protection: Wetsuits for tropical destinations, drysuits for cold water like Iceland
- Dive computer: Standard for all diving, but especially important when diving independently
Most destinations have rental equipment available if you prefer not to travel with your own gear.
Which shore diving destination has the best visibility?
+Iceland’s Silfra fissure has the world’s best shore diving visibility, regularly exceeding 100 meters (330 feet) in crystal-clear glacial meltwater. The water is so clear you can see the entire dive site from the surface.
For tropical destinations, Bonaire and Grand Cayman both offer exceptional visibility, typically 80-100+ feet. The Maldives also provides outstanding clarity in the Indian Ocean, often exceeding 30 meters (100 feet).
Can you shore dive without a guide or dive operator?
+Yes, many shore diving destinations allow completely independent diving without guides or dive operators. This is one of the main appeals of shore diving.
Best destinations for independent shore diving:
- Bonaire: The ultimate independent diving destination with marked sites and rental trucks
- Curaçao: Similar to Bonaire with excellent infrastructure for independent divers
- Grand Cayman: Easy independent access at popular sites
- Bali (Tulamben): Walk-in access to the USAT Liberty wreck
However, always check local regulations, inform someone of your dive plan, dive with a buddy, and be properly certified for the conditions you’ll encounter.
What’s the best shore diving destination for underwater photography and videography?
+The best destination depends on your shooting style:
Macro photography/videography: Dumaguete, Philippines (Dauin) is the world’s premier shore-accessible muck diving destination, offering frogfish, nudibranchs, blue-ring octopus, ornate ghost pipefish, and countless rare critters. The calm conditions and black sand substrate make it ideal for filming critter behavior.
Wide-angle and reef content: Bonaire offers healthy coral reefs, excellent visibility, and abundant marine life with unlimited diving access. The calm conditions and long bottom times are perfect for videography.
Wreck photography/cinematography: Bali’s USAT Liberty in Tulamben provides walk-in access to a massive 120-meter WWII wreck covered in soft corals, ideal for dramatic wreck footage.
Unique landscapes and cinematic shots: Iceland’s Silfra offers dramatic geological formations with unmatched clarity (100+ meters visibility), perfect for stunning wide-angle video.
Is shore diving cheaper than boat diving?
+Yes, shore diving is typically much more affordable than boat diving. Here’s why:
- No boat fees: Eliminate $50-150+ per day in boat dive costs
- Unlimited dives: Once you have tanks and weights, dive as many times as you want
- Flexible scheduling: No need to book advance boat trips or pay cancellation fees
- Tank rentals: Usually $10-20 per tank versus $40-75 per boat dive
Destinations like Bonaire, Bali, and Dumaguete are particularly budget-friendly with affordable accommodations near shore dive sites.
What certification level do I need for shore diving?
+Most shore diving destinations are accessible with an Open Water certification, which qualifies you to dive to 18 meters (60 feet) with a buddy.
However, some considerations:
- Advanced Open Water is recommended for deeper sites (60-100 feet) and provides better training for independent diving
- Drysuit certification is required for cold-water destinations like Iceland
- Self-Reliant Diver or Solo Diver certifications are valuable if you plan to dive without a buddy (though buddy diving is always safer)
Regardless of certification, ensure you have experience matching the conditions you’ll encounter and consider a guided orientation dive at new destinations.
What are the main challenges of shore diving versus boat diving?
+Shore diving offers freedom and affordability but comes with some challenges:
Physical demands: Walking in full gear, potentially over rocky entries or beaches. Surface swims to reach the reef can be tiring.
Navigation: You’re responsible for your own navigation and must find your way back to the entry point.
Limited depth: Shore diving typically maxes out at 60-80 feet, while boats can access deeper walls and offshore sites.
Conditions: You’re more exposed to surge, waves, and changing conditions at the shore.
Self-sufficiency: No divemaster to point out marine life or handle emergencies—you must be confident and capable.
The trade-offs are flexibility, cost savings, and the satisfaction of independent diving.
When is the best time of year for shore diving?
+The best season varies by destination:
Year-round destinations:
- Bonaire: Excellent year-round (calmest April-August)
- Curaçao: Year-round diving with consistent conditions
- Grand Cayman: Year-round (warmest May-October)
- Iceland: Year-round (water temp constant at 2-4°C)
Seasonal destinations:
- Bali: April-November (dry season, best visibility)
- Dumaguete: November-May (dry season, calm seas)
- Fiji: May-October (dry season, best conditions)
- Maldives: November-April (northeast monsoon, calmer seas)
- Marsa Alam: March-November (warmest water, calm conditions)
How do I find shore diving sites when I arrive at a destination?
+Finding shore dive sites is easier than you might think:
- Marked sites: Destinations like Bonaire and Curaçao have clearly marked dive sites with yellow rocks and entry/exit markers
- Dive shops: Local shops provide maps, site descriptions, and orientation dives
- Guidebooks: Dedicated shore diving guidebooks exist for popular destinations
- Online resources: Dive forums, Google Maps, and sites like ScubaBoard have detailed information
- Resort house reefs: Many resorts in the Maldives, Red Sea, and Philippines have clearly marked house reef entries
- Local divers: Chat with other divers at your accommodation or local dive shops
For your first dive at a new destination, consider booking a guided shore dive for orientation before diving independently.

Beneath The Sea, Big Apple Divers and NYUPS
Beneath the Sea is the premier international dive, travel and oceans exposition in the US. It’s held annually at the Meadowlands Expo Center just outside of NYC. BTS overall mission is to provide continuing education to the recreational diver community. It aims to educate the public in the benefits of protecting the ocean environment. BTS also supports ocean and environment-related projects and charities.
Exhibitors from around the world come BTS to promote dive products and scuba diving destinations. Also, a few local dive clubs have booths at BTS to promote regional diving and support the overall dive community. The Big Apple Divers obtained a booth with a video monitor this year. They asked members to submit their work for display during the consumer trade show (March 29-31, 2019). I presented these three underwater videos.
I filmed this ribbon eel off the coast of Tulamben, Indonesia. Accommodations and dive guides were supplied by Bali Dive Resort & Spa.
I shot this young sea turtle while I was shore diving near the Salt Pier in Bonaire. Accommodations, truck rental, and tanks were supplied by Captain Don’s Habitat.
