01/05/2012 Alle Broadwell (Avg: 4.57 Review) - A local recommended Tori's Reef to us. This is the most beautiful reef I have ever been on. so many varieties of corals and sponges. I saw fish I've never seen before. Entry was pretty easy by the channel next to the bridge. Moderate current, started out to the right, then drifted back to the left. Wonderful!!

11/13/2010 Ann Geiger (Avg: 2.85 Review) - The neatest thing about Tori's Reef is the entry through a salt intake channel for Cargill's salt ponds. After passing under the machinery that takes salt from the ponds to the ships, the entry for this site is at the second small bridge; the first also appears to be an intake channel but one that is perhaps more modern, concrete and less amenable to entry. There is room to park several cars within 25 feet of the entry point. After stepping down two to three feet worth of rocks, one enters the intake channel and can don fins. Then one swims out through the mouth of the intake channel. The swell was up a bit the day we did this, and swimming out was a bit more difficult than we expected, but still fairly easy. Exit by reversing the entry steps, recognizing that the swim in may be a bit choppy. We enjoyed our dive here but unfortunately the numerous sandy channels meant that the visibility was poor in the ocean state we encountered. Several guidebooks note that there are interesting fish in the channel itself; we found this to be the case but the ocean was too rough for us to spend much time looking at these fish.

01/23/2010 Bill Burkett (Avg: 4.41 Review) - My wife and I did this dive a number of times while in Bonaire. The entry was easy and before we got out to the reef we saw a nice size octopus and scorpion fish. The best time to dive this site is at dusk. We saw an abundance of eel, octopus, barracuda, and a seahorse. One of the best dives in Bonaire in our opinion.

07/18/2004 Lee (Avg: 3.26 Review) - Our first shore dive not using a boat dock. Entry was not as bad as it looked. We swim slowly and saw so many critters that we never made it to the reef drop-off. Had a great time getting photos of squid.

10/15/2003 Marge Lawson (Avg: 3.98 Review) - Went here with a couple of snorkeling friends. Lots of interesting fish in the shallows for them. Fairly long swim out to drop off. Saw some large orange elephant ear sponges, some gold entail and spotted morays, a couple of juvenile drum fish, file fish, etc.

11/28/2002 Fiona Rattray (Avg: 4.10 Review) - You enter through the water channel for the Solar Salt works, so the water in the channel is way saltier and warmer than the surrounding sea. A minor surface swim IMHO, and the soft corals were healthy on the reef. Salt channel is protected against surge (if it happens).

10/25/2002 Lorraine Bayford (Avg: 3.85 Review) - This was a great dive. Lots of fish and plant life. Bit of a long surface swim. Fairly easy entry but watch out for those scorpion fish hiding where you enter. Watch where you step.
