Shore entry at the pile of stones, through a narrow canal in the reef to a shallow plateau of coral fields, the drop-off and hilly reef slope to 40 m with black coral below about 21 m (divers-guide.com Candyland page and dive-centre descriptions; some sources call it boat-only). Taylor Made is 300 m to the west. Route direction and the black-coral spot are illustrative. Coastline and dive-site markers © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL). Positions are approximate.

On the north-west coast, between Karpata and Nukove. It is not one of the 65 Bonaire dive sites carried in OpenStreetMap and it is missing from several of the printed site lists, which suggests it is either a local name for a stretch of reef between two marked sites, or a marker that has come and gone.
The coast here is ironshore terrace with a steep drop-off close in, and it is among the least visited diving on the island simply because it is a long drive from town.
Dived 14 August 2012 to 25.5 m.
