Family Overview: Bonaire

By Candyce H. Stapen
Bonaire, an autonomous part of the Netherland Antilles 50 miles north of Venezuela, has notoriety as a diver's and snorkeler's paradise. The island boasts superb reefs and relatively unspoiled surroundings. Neither lush with vegetation nor lined with beaches, Bonaire features an arid desert-like landscape and a dearth of sandy spots.

As a result, Bonaire delivers a spectacular underwater fantasy for scuba and snorkeling devotees. Read More
