Thanks to @Ocean’s Piece post about Have you been to the Reefs?

https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/have-you-been-to-the-reefs.908026/

I was scrolling through my Google Cloud Photos that I couldn't remember what happened to them, but found a great deal of photos I thought I would share, for those of you who have, or have not actually snorkeled or dived any real reefs in the wild, enjoy all the photos.

These are from various spots along the Yellow Brick Road in Bonaire, and some from Washington Slagbaii National Park in Bonaire.

The Trunk fish you see towards the end is World Famous...he swims up to all new guests at a beach area at the national park...we named him Duky!(People Feed Him)

The massive Staghorn Colonies are at 1000 Steps Beach.

Enjoy:

A thing to note about Bonaire is, while there are massive Reef Colonies spread around the island, for the most part, wherever you go, there are just lots of smaller Colonies spread throughout the area you can swim to and around, it's closer to an actual reef tank in that regard.

Not too far from the seawall, they sink old boat moorings and over time they become their own small Reef formation, which is pretty cool!
