About this site
Barkadera is a shore dive site along the west coast of Bonaire, part of the fringing reef that lines much of the island's leeward side. Like other sites along this coast, it is marked by a yellow stone painted with the site name and reached by entering from the rocky shoreline into the reef just offshore.
