Take lots of water, a picnic, and insect repellent. It is one of the most beautiful dives on Bonaire. Nukove is located at a pristine bay where you may be the only divers and is well worth the adventurous drive. It is a lovely adventure dive distinctly different from the others that are along Bonaire’s coast.
You may also act as cover for hunting bar jacks. You will see abundant schooling fish, squid, porcupine fish, sea slugs, and Sargent Majors. You enter the site through a sand channel just to the left of the stairs that is about 20 feet in length. I suggest first taking your equipment down and then gearing up for your dive close to the water. You enter via a set of stable rock steps. The site is well marked from the road and has ample parking. Ol’ Blue is also entered from another great sunning and picnicking beach, located on the stretch of road between Columbia and Karpata, about two miles from Kralendijk. The sandy beach here is great for rests between dives, so take a picnic. The reef will have schools of smaller marine life, but larger ones are also sited, including a resident 7-foot green moray eel, a southern stingray about the size of a small car, parrotfish and a turtle. Visibility is fantastic, at least 100 feet (30 meters), and there is a lot to see night or day.
Turn left and time your dive out and back using the pier as a reference point. You enter Windsock at the end of the pier that is located across from the end of the island’s airport runway.
Some of the best shore dives for beginning divers are Windsock, Ol’ Blue, and the pristine Nukove. But perhaps the most amazing experiences will be your night shore dives, which give the novice diver the opportunity to see a totally different plethora of marine species that are nocturnal, including the elusive seahorse. Beginner Shore Diving is the Best in the Worldīonaire has a large number of “walk-in dives” – beautiful underwater sites that you access from shore by simply walking into the water and taking a short swim to the area.
