What are the five easiest entries on the South end? Thanks

I just got back this past Saturday. There was actually a bit of a surge that made it difficult to enter the water. The easist spot I found was Tori's Place. There were nice size rocks you could easily enter the water.

The other easy spot to enter was Winsock. However, we didn't see much there in the two dives we completed.

Just returned from my 10th trip last week. I dove Vista Blue for the lst time. It was probably the easiest entry (other than a dock) I've encountered so far. I think the entry at Invisibles is fairly easy also.

Tori's Reef is easy, also The Rock, Fishhut South, Invisibles, Vista Blue. it all depends on what you consider easy. some have easy, smooth sand entries (not many of those on bonaire) but have long swimouts.

there was a pretty big surge just before easter and we dove sweet dreams. obviously we are still alive to talk about it but it wasn't easy getting in and out through 5 foot waves. (yes, cynde, i did warn mary to wave). we should have tried it again with no surge...i'll bet it wouldn't have been too bad.

margate bay isn't bad either...and is one of the best sites on the southern end (IMHO). enter by the big boulder just north of where you'd park your truck.

speaking of parking trucks...please stay off the sand areas. even tho many are marked as turtle nesting areas and have boulders blocking access to the sand we still saw people getting towed out of the sand after getting stuck.

We just returned on Saturday, May 3rd. Due to medical reasons we look for sites with easy entry. This year we discovered The Lake, very easy entry and a beautiful double reef. We dove there several times.
