Does anyone have, or know of a site/URL that gives GPS coordinates for Klein Dive sites?

B. Ebo's Reef
I. Rock Pile
N. Forest
V. Carl's Hill
W. Ebo's Special
X. Leonora's Reef
Y. Knife
Z. Sampler

Also, coordinates of
No Name Beach and the
The abandoned "Cement Shack" heading west from No Nane beach?

Hi
I have Forest on my old GPS N 12.14920º,W 68.32662º
Oh. and No Name N 12.16875º,W 68.30548º
For the others, I guess with some fiddling around you could figure them out on Google Earth.
Mick

Thanks Mickey: That is a good start.

Actually, I'm trying to do just the reverse. Mark the sites on Google Earth with a minimal of guess work.

I would also like to see a list of sites, and the coordinates for all of Bonaire's Dive sites. I would like to do the same thing, mark the sites on Google Earth. If we can get a full list that would nice.

Gord: Here is a link to an archived thread on BT that gives the GPS for many of the dive sites on Bonaire itself -- the Big (?) island].

Note that some (many?) of the Klein sites "move around." That is, the mooring is shifted occasionally from one location to another at the same nominal site, to give a break to the reef near the mooring. So you can get an approximate location for the sites, but I wouldn't count on it!
