Nick 1's Dive Log

18 Palms is the house reef for the Plaza Resort. I have dove it many times and always find it enjoyable. The site is great for all levels of divers. A very easy entry with a sandy bottom makes it a nice place for underwater photography, and also great for night diving. Lots to see including, tarpon, ocean triggers, parrot-fish, southern sting rays, octopus, schooling tang and if you're lucky a seahorse or frog fish.

A fantastic night dive spot for all levels. For my wife, this was her first night dive and she loved it. Since the site is a working pier, dives are guided and one must get permission of the Harbor Master. Lots of flowering soft corals attached to the pillars with small critters making them their home. Sleeping Parrot fish, moray eels, arrow crabs and seahorses. Our dive guide even located two rare re-lipped bat fish. This is a "must do" dive on Bonaire
