CRUISERTN Posted December 31, 2009 #1 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Which area has the best snorkeling from the beach - the Divi Flamingo or the Plaza Resort? How are they different, and what makes one better than the other. We have been to Klein and the drift snorkel was interesting and we saw a lot of fish and coral, but visibility was not as good as we expected. We will be going back in a few months and this time wanted to just snorkel from one of the local beaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The snorkling is great at both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninkb Posted January 3, 2010 #3 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Divi is closer to the ship if you are walking and has a smaller beach. The snorkling is great at both. Understand there has been some hurricane damage to the reefs. Is there still good snorkeling from the shore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Embracedbylife Posted January 6, 2010 #4 Share Posted January 6, 2010 If they are pretty much equal do you think the beach itself is nicer at Kelin Bonaire than the Plaza Resort? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare YoPhilly Posted January 16, 2010 #5 Share Posted January 16, 2010 My experience was that the snorkeling was much better at the Plaza than the Divi. I thought too much of the Divi was sandy bottom, while there was much more reef at the Plaza. Saw much more variety at the Plaza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRUISERTN Posted February 15, 2010 Author #6 Share Posted February 15, 2010 YoPhilly - I saw the photos of your "snorkel spot in Bonaire". Was that the spot by the Plaza hotel? If not, where is the location in your photo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrtraveler Posted February 16, 2010 #8 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Plaza...18 Palms is the site and it's great! Walk down to the far end of the resort to the small deck/pier and down the steps. Much easier than the beach access. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
