This dive site, known as Rock Pile (I), is situated off the shores of Klein Bonaire, an uninhabited islet near the main island of Bonaire. True to its name, the site features natural rock formations underwater, providing an interesting topography for divers. It's a straightforward dive, well-suited for easy navigation due to its relatively shallow average depth.
Divers here can expect to encounter typical Caribbean marine life in abundance. The site is home to various fish species including snapper, angelfish, grunts, and parrotfish. Keep an eye out for larger pelagics such as nurse sharks, reef sharks, possible eagle rays, and stingrays that frequent the area.
The best time to visit Rock Pile, like most of Bonaire, is year-round due to consistently warm water and excellent visibility. Its shallow nature makes it perfect for longer bottom times and ideal for both beginner divers and those seeking a relaxed experience. It's also highly recommended for snorkelers and freedivers looking to explore vibrant marine life close to the surface.
