Beautiful spot to snorkel or just lay out on the pink sand. just not the easiest entry to get in or out. Definitely need water shoes. Also there’s shade by the mangroves incase it rains

Very nice for diving and just relaxing on the beach! The coral reef is just a few meters away from the beach! You can watch a lot of different fishes, sea turtles and moray eels. Very quiet place.

Beautiful dive/snorkling site! We saw a spotted eagle ray and many other big fish. Best spot in Bonaire

Perfect dive. Reef is very close to coast. Easy entry. No current; online it says strong currents but went with somebody that has Dove it plenty of times and has never experienced strong currents their. A lot of unique shaped Coral. Seen one the shape of a chair. Also one the shape of a half of human. Love the mix of hard and soft Coral. No pelagics. Visit. Was above average but not 100 meters. Dove at appx. 23 meters but could easily start @ 33+ (100 ft). You can dive 15 meters and have a perfect dive with only reef and no sand patches.

Andrea I is the dive site that is closest to my house. I snorkel there often and have done many scuba dives there as well. As with most of Bonaire, the reef is beautiful.
There is a small parking lot at the end of a narrow road. As with any dive site, do not leave anything valuable in your car when you dive.
As with many dive sites on Bonaire, the shore entry is somewhat rocky. The entry is marked with an "Andrea I" dive marker. Enter to the left of the marker. When you exit, stay to the left of the large brain coral and go in until the water is waist deep and take your fins off. You will definitely need booties for this site.
When scuba diving, I recommend going to the left. To the right is Andrea II, which is not as nice a dive, with more of a sand bank and less coral.
The reef starts at about 30 feet. I generally dive around 40-50 feet at Andrea I. Depending on how lucky you are, you can see a variety of marine life, including tarpon, turtles and octopus.
