Kleine Bonaire

Kleine Bonaire is an abandoned island right off of Bonaire.  Bonaire is a Dutch island and kleine is Dutch for little.  The whole of Bonaire is a marine park so there's fantastic snorkeling all around Kleine Bonaire and other parts of Bonaire also.  So far I've been to Kleine Bonaire 2 times, one time we went with my grandparents for a snorkeling trip, then a couple days later we repeated the exact same trip with our Marlin friends. 


Both times I snorkeled there I saw tons and tons of fish, but the dominating breed was the Parrotfish.  After both snorkels we researched in our reef fish book and looked up the fish we saw.  A lot of times over 50% of the fish we saw were Parrotfish!



Later after a few days had passed after both snorkel trips, we found out that another fish we had been seeing a lot of, was also a Parrotfish! (even if it was the baby version of it)
