About this site
Chez Hines is a shore dive site along the west coast of Bonaire, part of the island's long stretch of marked, accessible reef entries in the Bonaire National Marine Park. Like most sites on this leeward coast, it is reached by driving to a roadside marker and entering directly from the shore over a fringing reef. It reaches a maximum depth of around 25 metres and is generally rated an intermediate dive. Divers have also reported sea turtles and snapper around the reef here.
