Margate Bay is a beautiful dive site on the south-western coast of Bonaire. The site is clearly marked with yellow stones and is the first dive site after the road narrows into a single lane. Once in your gear, you can walk through the salina to the waters edge and use the entry/exit markers (yellow stones) to enter the water. You can swim out and start your descent at the mooring buoy or in the sandy area before. The reef itself is packed with a wide diversity of hard and soft corals, gorgonians and a fantastic abundance of fish. The site gets its name from the schools of Black Margates that populate the dive site. Various types of moray eels can also be found here. Depending on the current you can follow the reef to the north or south and head back with the current in the shallows. There are a lot of soft corals there and occasionally some turtles! When returning there are some fields of fire coral near the entry/exit point. Leave these to your left or navigate through them.
