Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at La Dianas Leap
La Dianas Leap is a recommended guided shore dive. This site has a colorful history! Back during the pioneering days of Bonaire-diving, Captain Don led groups of shore dives around the island. This site, definitely one of the more challenging on Bonaire (due to its blind leap into the water), was a good test of a diver's nerve! On one memorable day, only Diana (the sole female in the group of divers), was brave enough to leap off the coral cliff and complete the drift dive with Captain Don. Thus, she will always be remembered!
On the stretch of road between Columbia and Karpata, 7 km North of Kralendijk.

Just did this dive on 4/25/08. It was one of my favorite sites on Bonaire. The entry is not much different than Oil Slick Leap (both are a lot of fun and both require some planning to do safely) but La Dania is harder to find. The yellow rock with the name of the site was not present out at the road. Someone has placed a pile of coral there to mark the spot, though. As others have noted, the only exit point is at Karpata. We expected it to take us 40-45 min to get there, but it actually took about 30 min. When you see a very large anchor at about 35 ft depth, you are at Karpata and head for shore. There are a couple more anchors in the area, but I never saw them.
