Invisibles is a shore dive on Bonaire and one of the island's last remaining double-reef sites, featuring two distinct reef structures separated by sandy chutes and canyons. The dive descends to 30 m (roughly 100 ft) through a sandy canyon to reach the deeper second reef, while the shallower first reef begins at around 6 m (20 ft), making the full range 6–30 m. The site suits beginners through more advanced divers and can be worked at any depth.
The terrain of the deeper second reef consists largely of small coral islands ideal for circling and exploring. Sandy areas between the reefs provide clear open ground well suited to spotting shy or cryptic species. A popular approach is to swim out to the right over a patch of staghorn corals, which also serves as a handy reference on the return.
Marine life at Invisibles includes parrotfish, flounder, scorpionfish, eagle rays, shrimp, crabs, and garden eels. Eagle rays may pass by in open water on the deeper section, while garden eels are reliably found in the shallows during the safety stop on the way back in.
Entry is from shore. No specific current is noted for this site, and visibility is consistently good. The combination of a manageable maximum depth, calm conditions, and varied terrain across two reef structures makes Invisibles accessible to beginner and intermediate divers alike.
