We are heading to Bonaire for our second trip the end of this week:banana:, and were wondering if there are any swim-throughs? We watch this forum among several others for Bonaire and haven't seen anything mentioned. I am guessing the answer is no, but thought I would throw it out there for those that have been to Bonaire multiple times and have done many more dives than we have. Thanks for any input!!

None that I know of. I thought the swim throughs on GC were lame at best (no silversides and mostly nothing but dead rock). Bonaire has so much life that I wouldn't bother with a swim through anyway.

There's a small one at Angel City.

3 examples - and there's quite a few others like the "Oriental sites" south and the Maze and a couple others on the East End that I can recall w/o effort.

That's because the people you dove with didn't take you to the right sites - and you were at Devils Grotto the wrong time of year. Inherently though they are mostly dead rock since no light gets to the good ones. Coral doesn't grow as well in the dark...

Yep. Wish I had been there with you instead of the group I was stuck with. I know GC has some totally awsome sites. They just never went anywhere but the DG/Eden area.
