Bonaire, a thinly populated, barren-looking island, is part
of the Netherlands Antilles. While the island itself is the top of an
underground mountain in the Caribbean Sea, the surrounding water is a
world-famous diving area. The entire west coast has coral reefs, and
water sports draw many of the island's tourists. While windsurfers flock
to Lac Bay, divers and snorkelers are lured by the 111-square-mile Bonaire Marine Park
and about 370 underwater species. The underwater area is protected so
it will remain pristine.
