The house reef in front of Hamlet Oasis, entered down the stairs behind Dive Friends; the same reef as the Cliff dive site: a reef plateau to about 9 m, the drop-off, and the vertical Cliff wall from about 9 m to 22 m, with La Machaca at Captain Don's Habitat to the south (divers-guide.com, bonaire.com, dive-centre pages). The route is illustrative. The site's coordinates sit about 130 m inland near Captain Don's Habitat, so the map is centred on the resort's shore.

Hamlet Oasis is a small resort just north of Kralendijk, and like most places on that coast it has a marked dive site in front of it. Shallow terrace, drop-off, hard coral and sponges.

Dived 11 August 2012 to 12.9 m for 46 minutes — the third dive of that day, after the Hilma Hooker and Nukove, which is exactly what a house reef is for.
