05/25/2009 Cameron (Avg: 4.60 Review) - We have been going to Bonaire for 3 years and we'd never done the Invisibles before. We did it once and it became our favourite. We dove it every day, at least once and took our camera with us, getting great macro and portraits! When we went, there was a 7' Green Moray and a friendly Eagle Ray who swam by every day. Great for deep and shallow dives with plenty of room to lay down in the sand without damaging the coral, which is rare.

12/22/2008 Wes (Avg: 3.38 Review) - Garden Eels were all about, and we spent most of our time about 30'. The drop off at 40' was dramatic with a rich variety of coral growth.

03/23/2007 Colleen Haggart (Avg: 4.15 Review) - Easy shore entry, with a moderate swim out to reef. We found scorpion fish, flamingo shells and eels.

11/12/2006 John from Miami (Avg: 4.25 Review) - Great!

09/12/2004 Perry (Avg: 4.60 Review) - Our small group went to The Invisibles twice, once on a boat dive, and once on a shore dive. We thoroughly enjoyed it both times and highly recommend it. Lots of life including a colony of garden eels in only 20 feet of water right under the mooring buoy as well as another larger colony at about 80 feet in the sand valley between the double reefs. Pristine coral conditions and abundant life made this one of our favorite spots.

11/28/2003 Marcus L. Barnes (Avg: 4.72 Review) - Two divers with us in Oct 2003 for their first trip to Bonaire felt that out of 16 dives during the week, Invisibles was the best. Entry/exit is not that difficult and navigation is easy due to the sand chute that goes down the wall. It allows you to terrain associate from and to the entry and exit points. A coral island can be found down and out from the wall around 100 ft. This is the only place I have seen this particular type of formation on Bonaire. I highly recommend this dive keeping in mind the really good stuff is fairly deep.

06/11/2002 Brian Schoepflin (Avg: 4.51 Review) - Very easy shore dive site. Excellent entry and exit points, good reef and plant/animal conditions. Double reef system with excellent wall diving.

04/02/2002 Dave Rambo (Avg: 4.41 Review) - 03/23/02 This is one of the dual reef dives on Bonaire. Very easy entry onto a sandy bottom all the way to the reef. Once you get to the reef go to about 50ft and you can see the sandy bottom. Keep going straight across the sand another 70 ft and there is a parallel reef which comes up to about 50ft. you will see a lot of bigger fish out here (grouper, bigeyed jacks etc.) chasing school fish. It is really a nice dive.

07/24/2001 Fiona Rattray (Avg: 4.49 Review) - Pre-Lenny. Great dive- the double reef system continues here with the second, deeper reef appearing out of the distance as islands of coral at the 80-90' mark. my dive log notes squid, sea cucumber, garden eels, and at the surface, keeltail needlefish.

04/01/2001 Alika (Avg: 5.00 Review) - Very nice location for snorkeling!
