Carl’s Hill at Klein Bonaire

Carl’s Hill, Marked Site BNMP #V

This site is named after underwater photographer Carl Roessler and lies on the northwest tip of Klein Bonaire. The dramatic scenery makes this dive a photographer’s dream. The main feature of the dive is the sheer wall that begins 20 yards offshore and drops to a sandy bottom at 70 feet. The face of the wall is covered with sponges and gorgonians and a seldom-seen species called feather bush hydroid, which sits on the upper face of the wall filter-feeding on the plankton that streams by. Barracudas and bar jacks are often seen here and large schools of blue tangs. Depth 20-100 feet (6-30 meters).
