Snorkeling: A wonderful activity
for the whole family to enjoy! With Bonaire's shallow reefs,
there are many areas that offer great snorkeling opportunities
right off shore. In fact one of the best areas is almost
directly in front of Den Laman in a caved in cement pier we now
refer to as "the aquarium. Den Laman guests can also sign up for
one of the interesting Bonaire Guided Snorkeling Excursions lead
by Bonaire Dive & Adventure Naturalist Jerry Ligon.
A number of sites have been chosen as part of
this program, representing a cross section of Bonaire's reef
life. Most of the sites are accessed from shore, while some
involve short boat trips. Whichever suits you, they all begin
with an informative presentation, providing an overview and
introduction to that particular snorkel site. After the
orientation, Jerry will lead the group on a guided
snorkel, pointing out all sorts of marine life and behaviors.
If you can swim, you can put on a mask and start
enjoying the wonderful sea creatures and coral formations. Night
snorkeling is another experience that should not be missed.
Everything changes at night. All that is needed is a flashlight
and some protection for exposed arms and legs and off you go! |
