Best for technical divers, 55-60m, shore entry, strong current.
Windjammer is a technical wreck dive located 25 metres off the Bonaire west coast. The hull rests at depths between 55 and 60 metres, placing the site firmly in decompression territory. Divers encounter strong currents and visibility ranging from 15 to 30 metres. The wreck presents an overhead environment with entanglement risks, requiring disciplined buoyancy and careful gas planning. Due to the depth, nitrogen narcosis is a significant factor. Shore entry requires carrying equipment to the site without surface support, necessitating a conservative approach to ascent and staged decompression stops. This site is strictly for experienced technical divers capable of managing deep, complex conditions.
