Possibly the best of the double-reef sites, sitting between Alice in Wonderland and the Hilma Hooker, and shallow enough that both reefs fit in one dive.

Bonaire's double reef: a shallow terrace, the inner reef from about 5 m down to a sand channel at about 18 m, and the outer reef rising beyond it and dropping past 40 m; the Hilma Hooker lies in the same channel to the north (bonaire.com, divers-guide.com). The outer-reef width and the route (out across the channel, along the outer reef, back along the inner reef) are illustrative. Coastline and dive-site markers © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL).

Angel City lies between Alice in Wonderland and the Hilma Hooker on the southern coast, and it is usually named as the best demonstration of the island's double reef: an inner reef from about 5 m, a sand channel, and a second reef from about 18 m.
Because both reefs are shallow here, you can cross the valley and come back without any depth pressure at all, which is why it gets recommended to newer divers. The dive in this log ran 83 minutes to 17.1 m, which is exactly that profile.
