One of our favorite dive sites on Bonaire is Salt Pier. It’s. working pier that loads freighters with salt from the Cargill plant. But when there are no ships loading it is available to divers.

It’s a popular site so there are often as many as 20 dive parties there.... with many of them entering and exiting the water at any given time.

These Green Sea turtles are feeding on the sea grasses in just a couple of feet of water right next to the shore. In fact.... there was a group of 3 divers and an instructor standing waist deep the the water debriefing there dive. 

I don’t think they knew the turtles were there.... but they thought I was a little weird swimming around them taking all those pixtures. 

Even better yet, this was not a random encounter. We dive this site a number of times during our stay and found turtles in the same area every time.
