The diversity of underwater life on Bonaire never fails to amaze, with the “new-to-Bonaire” species count increasing all the time.

But for the first time in 10 years there has been a truly “new-to-anywhere” species discovered, thanks to the keen eye and hard work on Bonaire nature photographer Ellen Muller.
