Kalli's Reef is a boat-accessed site located on the west coast of Bonaire. The reef structure slopes into deeper water, with depths typically ranging between 20 and 30 metres. Divers should maintain careful buoyancy control to navigate the reef, which features sharp coral and rock formations throughout. Conditions are generally manageable for intermediate divers due to mild currents, and visibility typically spans 15 to 30 metres. Because the reef slope drops away quickly, it is important to monitor depth gauges to avoid drifting deeper than planned. The site requires boat access and is suited for those with intermediate experience levels.
