Windjammer Dive Site
The Windjammer, also known as the Mairi Bhan, was one of the fastest sailing ships in the world when it sank off the coast of Bonaire in 1912. The wreck lies just in front of the site of BOPEC (Bonaire Petroleum Corporation) at a depth of more than 55 meters. The Mairi Bhan was loaded with barrels of tar when she sank. The tar spilled out of the wreck, creating a tar field on the bottom. The wreck lies upside down and can only be entered through a crack at a depth of 51 meters. The top of the wreck starts at about 48 meters. The crow's nest at 60 meters, located on the tar field, is the deepest point. The wreck can be entered. On the inside, the broken barrels spilling their tar are silent witnesses of a disaster long gone by.
Not everyone is allowed to dive into this wreck. Many want to dive it, but this dive is only for those certified in Tech Diving and is only accessible via boat. This dive will be self-led, and your boat captain will only get you into the area for the dive. Together you will agree upon a dive plan, and your boat Captain will await your safe return. All equipment, including tanks, will not be provided, and you will be responsible for your equipment and setup.
After the dive, your crew will provide you with our delicious spread of fine foods and beverages as you slowly make your way back to our home port.
All certifications will be verified before the dive and must be submitted at the time of booking.
