The second shore dive we are profiling on Bonaire is Oil Slick Leap. The excitement starts with an actual giant stride off the rocky ledge; although there is a ladder for more control as well as the necessary exit point. But it doesn’t end there. We’ve seen a number of octopus there, batwing coral crab and even several black brotula which is the first time we have seen those. Even the coastal shallows provide unique contrast with a crevice filled wall to the south and sloping rocky shelf topped with gorgonians to the north. Want to see more? Check out the video.
